SUMMARY:Deliberations.US: The Electoral College
DESCRIPTION:Deliberations.US is designed to decrease toxic polarization and increase civil discourse\, fostering common understanding across a wide range of people through fact-based\, inclusive and nonpartisan civil online deliberation events. Deliberations.US presents participants with short\, engaging videos and briefing materials on complicated social and political issues. Then\, via a video discussion platform designed to facilitate small group deliberation\, we track the attitudes of participants as they discuss those issues. While each group is a cultivated mix of 8-12 people\, the platform can accommodate an unlimited number of groups simultaneously.\nTo ensure that we remain nonpartisan and effectively illustrate all sides of every relevant issue\, all platform media and materials are thoughtfully curated by a carefully assembled panel of notable professors and professionals in the democracy and deliberation fields with topic specific expertise. The result is an experience that will change how participants view each other and their own ability to have thoughtful and productive conversations on important issues facing their communities. Our technology leverages the comfort of Zoom-like platforms\, enabling participation easily and safely from home\, work\, or a school campus and can also be applied to in-person settings. Our data shows that deliberation not only produces more informed\, empathetic\, and optimistic citizens\, it also demonstrates that\, when given the facts\, the best arguments from all sides\, and the opportunity to speak with a diverse group of peers\, Americans can find common ground and respect for differing opinions on an otherwise divisive issue.\nWe are currently hosting deliberations discussing The Electoral College. We have successfully deliberated this topic amongst students middle-school aged through professional graduate school students.

SUMMARY:StoryWorks Theater Presents Teaching the Constitution Through Theater: Beautiful Agitators Virtual Play and Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Agitators\, a theatrical play about Vera Mae Pigee\, a hair stylist and business owner in Clarksdale\, Mississippi\, and one of the unsung heroes of the civil rights era. Using her beauty parlor as a hub for Delta-based organizing and resistance\, Pigee operated her salon by day and then transformed it into a clandestine center for civil rights organization and education in the evenings. Known for her big hats and larger than life personality\, Mrs. Pigee led the direct action that registered nearly 6\,000 African Americans to vote in the region. Although Pigee was largely left out of the history books\, along with many women of the movement\, our play Beautiful Agitators and accompanying curriculum revives her legacy\, highlighting her methods and tactics. \nJoin StoryWorks Theater’s Jenna Welch\, Aallyah Wright and Rebecca Welch Weigel for a brief introduction of Beautiful Agitators\, a virtual play and corresponding curriculum.
