Resource on Activism in the College Classroom
Scott Myers-Lipton is well known in the community engaged scholarship field for his San Jose State University courses that engage students in organizing and activism. His textbook, Change! A Student Guide to Social Action is a recommended read.
This week he also shared this 30-minute documentary about his work, called Walk the Walk.
"Walk the Walk shows how Social Action can be done in the college classroom. I have found that professors and staff don't teach Social Action because they are not sure how to. By watching three campaigns over a 12-year period, Walk the Walk gives them real-life examples on how to, and it will also inspire students who want to bring about community change."

National Voter Education Week
National Voter Education Week(NVEW) is a digital voter education initiative that will take place the week of October 5-9, 2020. Read on for how you can get involved.
"Throughout our years of experience in the student voter engagement space, we have seen many efforts focused on voter registration and voter turnout, but few focused on voter education -- an essential component in ensuring that those who are registered actually cast a ballot.
Complementing the incredible success of National Voter Registration Day and the exciting launch of Vote Early Day, National Voter Education Week is a nonpartisan digital voter education campaign that equips voters with the tools, information, and confidence they need to cast their ballots. The full list of founding partners and steering committee members can be found in the press release here.
Please join us! We have two different partnership opportunities: Partners and Creatives. As a partner, we’ll share advanced resources with your organization, and will work together to make sure that information reaches young people across the country. Creatives will work with NVEW to craft unique and original content that can be shared widely to everyone participating in the campaign. To get involved, visit https://votereducationweek.org/partners.
