“The democracy issues that I care about are racism and education. Racism is what hinders minorities from receiving greater opportunities whether its health, schools, or jobs. Education is another big issue I care about because if you are not educated you are more prone to getting in trouble with the law or simply not know what the world has to offer.”

Alicia Wicks, Georgia Fellow
“Voting is a very unique democracy issue for me because it is crucial for everyone who is eligible to vote – to vote. Minorities are once again in a sinking ship full of bills created by congressmen and congresswomen – that’s main purpose is to prevent Black voter turnouts. Many convicted felons, who are predominantly Black can not vote for nonviolent charges or charges where the evidence does not match the crime. This is a problem that many politicians are aware of and actions are not being taken to solve the issue. The change many individuals are looking for within the government will never come if “The People” do not have a fair chance to vote – as of 1996 everyone including Black women received voting rights. Therefore it is vital that we protect a right we rightfully deserve as citizens of the United States.”

Thandi Moses, Mississippi Fellow
“Students are future, being participants in democracy helps you put those who you wish in office. Our generation has the ability to influence the outcome of elections if we put politicians who will benefit the democracy in the right positions. I do believe there is lack of knowledge on the importance of being an active participant and there needs to be a huge shift if we want a society that is beneficial for us students.”
Rust College Democracy Fellow, 2020-2021
Cameron Emery, North Carolina Fellow
“Under funding of our educational system is a very important to me because I feel that education is the answer to all problems and how can we expect our new generational of leaders will be anything or the competence enough to perform at their best with lack of educational resources and instructional content that will prepare for the world.”
