Bridging Blocks | Voting: An American Right or Obligation?

Voting is a civil right. For many people, it's a civic duty. Elections give Americans the power to choose who represents them and influence policies that affect their families and communities.

Why is voter apathy so widespread? Should we educate others who choose not to
participate? Is there adequate civics education in our schools? Should the government play a role in raising awareness of the impact of voting?

This is a facilitated community conversation in which attendees will engage directly with one another in a moderated setting. Rather than a lecture or presentation, the program is designed to encourage dialogue, the exchange of perspectives, and shared learning among participants.
