Summary
The right to vote as established in Article 21 of the UDHR is the bedrock of democracy and essential to the fulfillment of other rights. Yet this fundamental right is under attack. This module is designed to address the problem of voter suppression and voter apathy by engaging participants in ways they can promote voting and voting rights in their own communities and classrooms

Objectives

  • Establish the importance of voting and civic engagement to human rights and democracy
  • Discuss modern day voter suppression and voter apathy
  • Develop ways to promote the vote and combat voter suppression in one’s own community

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
