The Tri-C Democracy Fellows program is a nonpartisan, national effort held in conjunction with 校园投票计划 to support student civic engagement and voter education.
In 2021, we welcome our fourth cohort. Five scholars are serving at Tri-C as Democracy Fellows in 2021, working on campus through the College 政府关系 office. 他们的总体目标? To support a basic tenet of the College - engage fellow students in civic engagement and empower them through voter education.
第26修正案将满50年!
2021 is an anniversary year for student voter rights. 7月1日, we're celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18. For the five weeks leading up to that date, 6月3日开始, our Democracy Fellows invite you to join them in weekly social media posts, 对话, and an Art of Voting competition.
五个家伙,五个星期四. 一切从6月3日开始. 加入我们!

Kenzie
Journalism major Kenzie Brown reimagined the road to the 26th Amendment, writing a series of news articles documenting the lead-up to the July 1, 1971年批准, as if she were living in that time.
展望
In celebration of the 26th Amendment's 50th anniversary, Tri-C Democracy Fellow & Mandel Scholar 展望 shares a look at heroes of the march to voting rights. She'll share about iconic activist John Lewis, as well as two Black teen activists from the 1960s - Diane Nash and Carolyn Q. Coleman - whose work helped lead the way to lowering the voting age to 18 on July 1, 1971.
朱迪
As her salute to the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the 26th Amendment, Tri-C Democracy Fellow & Mandel Scholar 朱迪 invited her cohort to share their thoughts on What Voting Means to Me. She also gave everyone involved - herself included - a fun Q&答:关于第26修正案. See if you know the answers too!
伊迪丝
Tri-C Democracy Fellow and Emerging Leader 伊迪丝 Cabrera's interest in women’s history and voting stems from her personal family history. On this 50th Anniversary of the 26th Amendment, and in honor of her grandmother who worked for the President of Mexico before she was able to vote, 伊迪丝 invites anyone who hasn't done so to 登记投票.
