Civic engagement through movement: VOTE



Ileana Jiménez, teacher and founder of feministteacher.com, and her high school students speak about the importance of young women voting in the upcoming election. Jiménez recounts a story of being a child with her mother in the voting booth; it is there that her mother instills in her the importance of civic engagement through the movement of pulling the lever in the booth. The simple action not only registered her mother's vote, but registered the significance of women taking action in the political process - past, present and future.
