"We just have to get more people to hear about it, so they can ask their congressional representatives to support it. It'll take a lot of hard work, but many important laws took time before they were passed." "Like the Thirteenth amendment that abolished slavery," Johnny suggested. "Yes!" Dennis exclaimed. "And the Nineteenth amendment," Maya added. "It took women many years to win the right to vote!" The Peace Kids felt excited. Then they saw a familiar shape in the sky, and they got even more excited.
