SUMMARY:Connecticut's History of Voting Rights tour
DESCRIPTION:Take a journey through time as you explore Connecticut’s Old State House and learn about key points in our state’s voting history. Visitors will learn about how the right to vote has expanded and contracted over time and how the question of “Who gets to vote?” has impacted the lives of Connecticut residents from the 1600s through today. This tour also explores themes of civic participation and the ways that Connecticut residents have made their voices heard when they could not do so at the polls. \nLocated in downtown Hartford\, Connecticut’s Old State House served as one of Connecticut’s state capitols from 1796 to 1878 and Hartford City Hall from 1878-1915. Beautifully restored and preserved\, this museum and civic space was declared one of the first National Historic Landmarks in 1960 and now operates under a public/private partnership between the Connecticut General Assembly and The Connecticut Democracy Center. \nPlan your visit to Connecticut’s Old State House at ctoldstatehouse.org. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.

SUMMARY:The Unify Challenge
DESCRIPTION:What is the Unify Challenge? \nIt’s a guided video conversation that you’ll take with another American who may vote differently than you or be different than you in other ways. It’s a small but powerful way for everyday people to heal our national divide. \nConsider this your official invitation to step out of your “bubble.” We the People can lead the way. \nThe process: \n1. Tell us about yourself. \nThis part’s easy! Just answer a few basic questions so we can match you with the perfect partner. Your match may vote differently than you do or be someone you’d never get the chance to meet in your daily life. \n2. What you’ll need: \nYou’ll need a computer with a camera and microphone. (The Challenge DOES NOT work on your phone or a tablet.) \nGive yourself about an hour. Some partners chat longer because they get into it. Totally up to you! \nAnd you’ll need an open mind. It’s OK to disagree. In fact\, it’s great to disagree. \n3. Take the challenge and have a conversation. \nYou may be thinking… “A video conversation with a complete stranger? What will we talk about?” Don’t worry. We make it super easy. It’s a guided survey that you take together about goals for the country around issues like healthcare\, immigration\, the economy\, education\, criminal justice\, and more. You don’t have to be “into politics” — no prep needed!

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.
