SUMMARY:Understanding Young People’s Political and Civic Engagement as a Counter to Democratic Backsliding
DESCRIPTION:As democracies around the world face increasing pressure\, from voter suppression and disinformation to disengagement and distrust\, young people are stepping up to defend and reimagine civic life. This session examines how youth political and civic engagement is not only a sign of hope\, but a strategic response to democratic backsliding. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how young people are organizing movements\, influencing policy\, and demanding representation in systems that have historically marginalized their voices. We’ll dive into the data and real-world examples that show how youth-led action can reinvigorate democratic institutions and create a more equitable future. \nParticipants will leave with a clearer understanding of what drives youth civic participation\, the systemic barriers they face\, and how educators\, organizations\, and institutions can support their leadership in meaningful\, lasting ways. \nThis session is a must-attend for anyone committed to youth empowerment and the future of democracy.

DESCRIPTION:During Civic Learning Week\, we will gather at the Maryland General Assembly on Wednesday\, March 11\, from 2:30–5:00 PM for an advocacy visit focused on strengthening civics education\, with special attention to statewide civic seals. Civic seals recognize students who demonstrate civic knowledge\, skills\, and engagement\, and they signal that participation\, service\, and democratic responsibility are valued statewide. \nThis visit offers educators\, students\, and community partners the opportunity to share firsthand experiences with lawmakers and explain why strong civic pathways matter for classrooms and communities. We are excited to come together in support of policies that elevate civics\, empower young people\, and ensure Maryland students graduate prepared for thoughtful participation in public life. https://www.mdcivics.org/advocacy2026
