The Vote educator series

The VOTE Educator Series was a free, two-year program offered from 2013 - 2023.

Teachers have the most important job in our country, educating the next generation of problem-solvers and critical thinkers. But in our complex world, we not only need to help students become informed and knowledgeable, we need to help them learn to be open-minded and engaged with finding solutions to our nation’s most pressing economic problems. But in an age of partisan bickering, this seems harder and harder to accomplish. That’s why we need Voices On The Economy (VOTE).

The VOTE Mission is to inspire solutions to our nation’s urgent economic problems by building a culture of respectful listening, passionate advocacy, and intelligent debate.  Our philosophy is that students should learn multiple perspectives — conservative, liberal, and radical — in a fair, unbiased, accurate way so they can make up their own minds about what they believe. In the VOTE Educator Series, we trained hundred of educators to help students learn how to hear other points of view with an open mind and practice civil discourse. In the process, students found their own voices on the issues.
