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:The Fire of a Movement: The Future of America's Past
DESCRIPTION:What lessons might we learn from the stories of the families of the victims\, survivors\, and witnesses of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire?\nThe Triangle Shirtwaist Fire prompted many legislative and workplace-related reforms that still help keep workers safe. But there is also the human side of the story which\, like most tragedies\, can often get lost in media coverage that follows political or social unrest. Instead\, these stories are remembered by the friends and family of the victims and are an important part of history.

SUMMARY:Tell Me What Democracy Looks Like
DESCRIPTION:Taking a cue from the popular protest call-and-response—”Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!”—this site explores what democracy looks like from the perspectives of five organizers working in today’s undocumented movement. Through their stories\, these organizers invite us to look beyond the headlines and the issues often associated with undocumented immigrants\, from DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to the DREAMers. In the process\, they stretch our imagination by offering fresh approaches to familiar topics such as community\, citizenship\, belonging\, and even identity itself.

SUMMARY:Test your News Literacy with Informable
DESCRIPTION:Players develop the skills to become news-literate by practicing four distinct skills in a game format: distinguishing news articles from opinion pieces\, advertisements from other types of information\, false evidence from factual evidence\, and fact-based statements from opinion-based statements. Informable is an innovative step toward building more responsive tools for real-world learning — expanding beyond the classroom by offering educational opportunities to the public.

SUMMARY:The Senate and Women's Fight for the Vote
DESCRIPTION:In 1878 Senator Aaron Sargent became the first member of Congress to formally propose a constitutional amendment specifically to extend voting rights to women. The Senate never voted on Sargent’s proposal\, but the idea and the suffragists who supported it persisted. Senators—some of them working closely with activists—continued to debate women’s political rights over the next four decades as suffrage lobbyists ramped up pressure on members of Congress. After several failed attempts\, the Senate finally approved a constitutional amendment for woman suffrage on June 4\, 1919. Ratified in 1920\, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution includes only 39 words\, two sentences that represent the work of generations of activists and a dedicated group of congressional reformers.
