Editor's Letter

Dear Families,

Civic engagement begins at home. When our children see us vote, they learn that their voice matters. Our family is our first community—and the values we practice at the dinner table shape the citizens they become.

This edition is a toolkit for raising civic-minded kids and voting together as a family.

With Love,
Dr. Tonya Gipson Miller

Why Our Family Votes

We vote because someone fought for our right to. We vote together because our children are watching. And we vote because it is how we love our neighbors.
