This week’s Shaper of Influence is Ella Yitzhaki. At only 18 years old, Ella has been leading the fight to lower and expand the youth vote. This past June, Ella testified in front of the California Assembly Committee in support of Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA)-4, which would have California allow 17-year-olds who will be 18 on Election Day to vote in congressional elections, primary elections or caucuses. For the past year Ella has been researching voter eligibility laws, attended town halls, and has ongoing meetings with state Assemblyman Kevin Mullin and his team. Ella is adamant about voting rights and inspires people, especially teens, to speak up and demand for their rights. #ShapersOfInfluence
