[EL] Need suggestions for voting materials for elementary school kids

[Eugene Mazo]

Dear Franita,

The New Jersey State Bar Foundation publishes a newsletter three times a
year called *The Legal Eagle: A Legal Newspaper for Kids*, which aims to
explain issues related to voting and democracy to a school aged audience.
I'll attach a past issue of the newsletter here for you. You can find other
past issues here <https://njsbf.org/publications/>. The most recent issue,
which contains articles on mail-in voting, voter suppression, and faithless
electors, is here
<https://njsbf.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Legal-Eagle-Fall-2020.pdf>. A
previous issue that explains gerrymandering can be found here
<https://njsbf.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Legal-Eagle-Winter-2020.pdf>.

A subscription to the newsletters is free. Other materials published
specifically for kids by the NJSBF can also be found on the foundation's
various websites and blogs (see, e.g., here
<https://njsbf.org/2020/05/20/explaining-the-roots-of-institutional-racism/> on
institutional racism, and here
<https://njsbf.org/2020/09/13/sowing-seeds-of-doubt-to-suppress-the-youth-vote/>
on
suppressing the youth vote). Hope this helps.

With kind regards,

Gene
