Book Description
In 14 chapters, this book guides students and practitioners as they analyze modern-day policies meant to suppress voting, including asking why? Why would anyone want to strategize to prevent people from voting? Then, they examine how nonprofits and public agencies can (completely legally) encourage the people they serve to register to vote, help to educate them about issues that impact them, and assist and energize them to vote.
It is crucial to a healthy democracy and responsive communities that voters from every societal strata vote and express their needs and interests. It’s also crucial that people with the interests of the community at heart, run for office. That can appear a very heavy, complicated, and mysterious climb. In the second half of the book, students and practitioners learn how to run for office and have the resources to plan a campaign, step by step.
