To contribute to national efforts to get out the vote and defend the elections, we encourage middle and high school teachers to focus on voting rights and the Constitution in September and October.
Teachers can help young people see voting as part of a broader effort to improve their lives and communities and to see themselves as agents of change rather than spectators to politics.
We ask for your help to send free voting rights toolkits to educators nationwide.
We’ll provide Voting Rights Teaching Toolkits free of charge from September through Election Day. The toolkits include classroom lessons, gallery walks, posters, stickers, infographics, and more on voting, the Constitution, and the fight for democracy.
Demand is growing, but our budget is limited. We now have the resources to send 50 voting rights teaching toolkits to classrooms. With your support, we can send 500 toolkits.
Each teacher reaches more than 100 students. Those students engage with peers, family, and community members. With 500 toolkits, we’ll reach at least 500,000 young people.
The toolkits cost $20 each to produce and mail.
Attempts are underway to sabotage this November’s elections. Democracy depends on broad participation as well as fair elections.
Thank you for providing young people with tools to defend voting rights.
