why this matters

Through research conducted immediately after the 2022 midterm elections across 40 states, the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University found that only 23% of youth between the ages of 18 and 29 voted. 
​
According to Scott Warren, a fellow at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins, “A lot of young people want to make the world a better place… But they don't necessarily see politics as the way to do it.”. Warren credits the lack of political participation amongst young people to the lack of civics education in the United States. While most states have mandated United States government courses, the curriculum generally covers facts and figures related to the American Government rather than equipping future voters with the tools that they need to understand relevant issues on a ballot. Due to the lack of relevant civics education for young people, many require assistance while going through the process of voting.

Through our blog, we aim to provide our users with the relevant civics resources that they need to come to their own informed conclusions about the important issues shaping the 2024 presidential election. 

By casting a ballot, individuals are not only advocating for their own needs but that of those around them. The issues that are voted on impact the lives of millions of Americans and develop our nation to ensure that it is stronger in the future.
