VoteRiders\u2019 Digital Communications Coordinator speaks with <\/span><\/i>Jennie Ekstein, <\/span><\/i>Social Studies Curriculum Specialist at Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) about MPS\u2019 student voter engagement efforts and partnership with VoteRiders. \u2014 November 30, 2023<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Tell me about yourself and your role at Milwaukee Public Schools(MPS).\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m the K-12 Administrator for Social Studies Curriculum \u2014- we call that a Social Studies Curriculum Specialist \u2014\u00a0so I\u2019m the administrator in charge of the K-12 Social Studies curriculum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Empowering

When it comes to civic engagement and anything around civic engagement, that falls under my purview via the Wisconsin State Standards, which deals with kids being civically engaged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been in various roles here at the Central Office for about 10 years. Before that, I was an eighth-grade U.S. History teacher for 15 years. This is my 5th year as the MPS K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Specialist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What kind of voter engagement work is MPS doing?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We work hand-in-hand with the League of Women Voters<\/a> \u2014 they have several games and things that they do on-site at our voter registration events. As a school district, we also have Milwaukee Public Schools<\/a> Civic Engagement Week during the last week of September. That week, all K-12 classrooms focus on an interdisciplinary set of activities and lessons. In the early grades, everything is centered around what it means to be a good citizen. Through middle school the trajectory is broadened to: what does it mean to make a difference in my community? And why is it important historically to have the right to vote? And then when students are in high school the focus becomes: what are some of the local issues we care about and how might we handle these issues?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It shouldn\u2019t be just that week \u2014 but that week is important because it includes MPS Voter Registration Day. The goal on this day is to try to hold as many voter registration events as possible in our high schools for our 18-year-olds. This year was a great year to start this because there wasn\u2019t an election in November in Wisconsin, so we can register any student who’s going to be 18 before the primaries on February 20, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, we had four very large voter registration events at the end of September. We had about 75 of our seniors register to vote during that week, which is really good \u2014 it\u2019s up from what it had been before. Most of our voter registration events would maybe have about five students register, so we’re really trying to work on upping the ante with that. We’re working with the Milwaukee Bucks, they\u2019re going to be helping us hype these voter registration events. During the January push for student voter registration, we\u2019re going to have pep rallies and things like that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Voting is like a rite of passage \u2014 that’s what’s so cool about it.<\/p>\n

I remember when I was 18, nobody said a thing to me about voting. It was almost more important that I signed up to be in the Army. Right after I got married, when I was 25, that was the first time I registered to vote, which was crazy, you know? These things are super, super, <\/span>super<\/span><\/i> important, but unless somebody tells you that it\u2019s important, how would you know?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How did MPS first connect with VoteRiders?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, we were going to register all these 18-year-olds to vote. And then what? What’s the next step?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The next step is being able to actually go to the polls and vote. Students need to have the appropriate identification in the state of Wisconsin<\/a>, and securing acceptable ID will require several different things like possibly a Social Security card or birth certificate, proof of address, and all that other stuff that you have to have to get a state-issued ID. So, that\u2019s why we connected with VoteRiders<\/a> through the League of Women Voters in February 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wisconsin is a strict voter ID state and only specific student IDs can be used to vote. What kind of challenges do students face when it comes to getting an ID?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting an acceptable ID is THE biggest challenge<\/a> that students face.<\/p>\n

When I was in college, I didn\u2019t know where my birth certificate was. Some of these kids might not even have one \u2014 they might have moved three or four times and their parents may not have brought it with them, or it got lost in a folder somewhere. Getting the underlying documents that you need to obtain an ID can be a challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What kind of work is MPS doing in partnership with VoteRiders to make sure students have what they need to cast a ballot?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Every school has a person called a \u201cVoter Champion,\u201d a faculty member who’s in charge of the voter education process at their school. So, if a student comes to register to vote but doesn\u2019t have an ID, then the Voter Champion will put them in touch with VoteRiders, and VoteRiders can help them get that ID<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there anything else you want to share with young voters in Wisconsin?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Voting is important. Everybody can have their own opinion and their own beliefs, but it’s important to teach kids the importance of democracy, that they do have a voice, that they have the power to cast a ballot and say, \u201cThis is what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

I think that’s probably the most important thing for our kids to know because unless someone teaches you that, shows you that, or helps you vote, it can be overwhelming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
