Kids had something to say about politics this year. Even little ones still perfecting their handwriting made their voices heard.
Alongside their (ahem) taller counterparts, children of all ages protested immigration policies separating families at the border, gun violence killing students at school, restrictions on women's rights, and more. They attended events like March For Our Lives, the Women's March, and the Families Belong Together march, among other protests and events. To get their message across, the young protesters wore bold tees, carried colorful signs, and rode atop their parents' shoulders.
The kids who marched in the streets this year may not be able to vote, but they know the difference between right and wrong — and that's always the best place to start.
Here are 10 of our favorite pictures of kids who stood up for human rights and justice in 2018:
