This workshop will equip educators with knowledge and skills to teach about voting rights, in fulfillment of our ethical responsibilities to empower vulnerable populations and advance justice. Participants will receive sample assignments, discussion questions, reading lists, and other tools to incorporate into classes, in pursuit of voting rights and justice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will learn the provisions of the Voting Rights Act, particularly Section 5.
  2. Participants will learn how voting rights laws in their states have changed since the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court Shelby County v. Holder decision.
  3. Participants will identify at least 3 elements (assignments, discussions, advocacy projects, readings) they could include in their social work classes to inform/engage their students in voting rights efforts.
