SUMMARY:Why It Matters: Civic and Electoral Participation
DESCRIPTION:We are regularly exposed to the message that in a democracy\, such as the United States\, our voices matter. We are encouraged to vote—to participate in the electoral process—to be civically engaged. But what does that mean in a climate where so many of us express apathy and distrust in the system? In an increasingly polarized democracy\, how do we practice true exchange and listening? \nWe are proud to share with you Why It Matters—a collaboration that joins three strands of robust civic engagement: deep dive discussions\, the power of youth\, and culture and creativity.

SUMMARY:Confronting Racial Injustice: Slavery\, Wealth Creation\, and Intergenerational Wealth
DESCRIPTION:From the 17th century to the 21st\, enslavement—even when it took place outside of Massachusetts—shaped the province and the state in significant ways. It was and has been central to creating wealth: family fortunes\, institutional endowments\, and public budgets in Massachusetts have benefited from its spoils. This panel explores the Commonweath’s connections to slavery and the trade of enslaved people\, the wealth—and the poverty—enslavement created and bequeathed\, and how the legacies of enslavement are reflected in injustices that haunt Massachusetts to this day. \nThis five-part series was developed by the Northeastern University School of Law Criminal Justice Task Force. It is hosted by the Massachusetts Historical Society and sponsored by a number of Boston-area organizations.

SUMMARY:From Apathy to Agency: How to Reframe Elections for New Voters
DESCRIPTION:In the last presidential election\, less than half of eligible young people voted. Why? \nAfter all\, countless initiatives have been launched to register and mobilize these voters. School lectures stress the importance of voting. Celebrities swamp social media with urgent pleas. And in some states\, there are even drives to lower the voting age. Why then do young people reject their right\, and responsibility\, to vote?
