About this event
The Civic Education Task Force is hosting the November Member Mashup. Members will learn about and experience a module from the Energizing Young Voters curriculum, developed by the New Jersey LWV.
Energizing Young Voters is an initiative developed by the New Jersey League of Women Voters for students which envisions a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate.” The Civic Education Task Force has been studying this program and investigating opportunities to work with local high school teachers. At the November Member Mashup, members will explore Module 1: The Voting Rights Timeline (What’s it Worth?). This module immerses participants in the sacrifices made to gain the vote – from the start of the nation through the ongoing fight against voter suppression. Participants are assigned avatars and join a human voting rights timeline demonstrating the struggle to gain the vote.
