They were completing the \u201cTeach a Kid to Vote Challenge,\u201d which is part of the Center for 21st Century Studies\u2019 current Story Cart project, titled \u201cTrust &amp; the Vote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/opportunities\/other-opportunities\/story-cart\/\">C21 Story Cart<\/a> is in its second year. For the project, C21 fellows pose a question to the Milwaukee community, centering around ideas about trust. With a mobile cart full of recording equipment, fellows can often be found throughout the city, conducting and recording interviews. Last year, C21 fellows interviewed city residents about issues surrounding <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/storytelling-as-a-research-method-offers-insights-into-societys-needs\/\">trust and food<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s project is about voting, said C21 fellow Jessica Thompson, who just graduated with her Master\u2019s in Sustainable Peacebuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe ask nonpartisan questions about trust and awareness of the voting system,\u201d she said. \u201cWhy do you trust or not trust the voting system? If you don\u2019t trust it, what are the conditions that would encourage you to trust it more?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the classroom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event started with Underly\u2019s visit to a Learning Center classroom full of precocious 6- to 10-year-olds. The students listened while Underly answered the questions posed by story fellow Jacob Clements. She explained how to vote by outlining the process for registering to vote (you need a photo ID and proof of residence) and how to find your polling place. She described how to cast a ballot and turn it in to be counted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for why you should vote? \u201cBecause you live in a representative democracy and your voice is important. You select your leader so they can enact policies and create things to make your lives better,\u201d Underly told her audience. \u201cPart of participating in your community, in your democracy, is learning about the people who are going to represent you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson spoke to a group of 5- and 6-year-olds and described the process of voting and why it is necessary, in terms friendly for small children. He used himself as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignleft uwm-c-img--left uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/05\/Voting-sticker-300x200.webp\" alt=\"A Black man in a dark suit and blue tie smiles as he holds up a pink sticker that says &quot;I taught a kid to vote.&quot; He sits at a small table near a white woman with pink hair and glasses who wears a white t-shirt that says &quot;Teach a Kid to Vote.&quot; She holds a microphone and recording equipment.\" class=\"wp-image-27759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/05\/Voting-sticker-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/05\/Voting-sticker.webp 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson holds his &#8220;I taught a kid to vote&#8221; sticker at the 51ÁÔÆæ Children&#8217;s Learning Center.

The reason I\u2019m here as mayor is because people voted for me,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Johnson and Underly fielded some tough questions from their student audience, including: What if someone does not have a photo ID or a permanent address? What if someone does not have money to procure a driver\u2019s license? Can children vote?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKids your age cannot vote. You\u2019re learning to vote,\u201d Johnson answered. \u201cWe\u2019ve got so many people not just here in Milwaukee, but across the state, across the country, who can vote, and should vote, but don\u2019t vote. So, I\u2019m glad you guys are learning this right now. \u2026 All the learning you\u2019re doing right now is going to prepare you for when it is time to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of each challenge, Clements and Thompson, the C21 fellows, held their own polls: Had Underly and Johnson passed the challenge to Teach a Kid to Vote? The answer was a resounding yes. For their success, Underly and Johnson received stickers counting down the number of days until the next election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learning while they\u2019re young<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Story Cart project overall is important in deepening awareness and inviting Milwaukeeans to have thoughtful conversations about issues in civic engagement. The Story Cart will be going out to engage voters of all ages in the Teach of Kid to Vote Challenge \u2013 sharing books on how and why to vote illustrated by the 5- and 6-year-olds at the Learning Center if they struggle to answer either question.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration with the young children, while playful, has another, deeper objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEarly childhood is the right time to start thinking about big ideas with children,\u201d said Rona Wolfe, the 51ÁÔÆæ Learning Center\u2019s Assistant Director of Kindergarten and School-age Programs. \u201cAnd when we don\u2019t, we miss opportunities to see children for who they are and what\u2019s important to them, to know them as valuable members of communities and as change-makers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignright uwm-c-img--right uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/05\/Underly-1-300x200.webp\" alt=\"A woman with short, curly gray hair and black glasses wearing a blue dress and cardigan stands in front of seated children in a classroom.\" class=\"wp-image-27765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/05\/Underly-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/05\/Underly-1.webp 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Wisconsin State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly listens to students at the 51ÁÔÆæ Children&#8217;s Learning Center as they share their ideas on voting.

Children are already learning the rudiments of voting, even if it\u2019s just a teacher in a classroom taking a show of hands to see who wants to go outside for recess. These small bits of learning teach a bigger whole, like \u201cunderstanding that they\u2019re a part of a team, and cooperation and compromise, and making sure that we\u2019re making the best decisions for ourselves as a group,\u201d Underly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the students are already starting to grasp those concepts. When asked why he thought it was important to vote, one student answered, \u201cSo a bad person doesn\u2019t make bad rules. We need a good person who makes good rules.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though they have years to go until they can head to the polls, the students of the 51ÁÔÆæ Learning Center seemed eager to participate in the process. One kindergartener already had his ideal candidate in mind \u2013 the ice queen from the Disney movie \u201cFrozen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to vote for Elsa!\u201d he proudly declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Underly and Johnson, now he knows how to cast his ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>By Sarah Vickery, College of Letters &amp; Science<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you vote, and why should you vote?
