  • Ask the elders and older grownups in your family and neighborhood to share their memories about voting.
    • At what age did they start voting? What was it like back then? What did voting mean to them? What does it mean now? 
    • Be sure to record these treasured voting stories on video or in a notebook.
    • Consider sharing these stories with your teachers and other community members.
  • Our great nation is known throughout the world as the land of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness where every child is free to pursue their dreams and be whatever they wish to be when they grow up! Protecting our democracy and our freedom to vote protects each child’s dreams.
