Voting is more than a checkmark—It is your voice, your story, and your power.

Below are a few of our discussion points during ARC’s virtual event on May 31, 2026

1. Start by identifying the first person in your family to vote. Where did they cast their ballot?
2. Visualize the area they lived in. How did their choice to vote shape that community for the better?
3. In what ways did their participation in the democratic process directly impact your life, both in the past and today?
4. Looking ahead, what is your personal role in civic engagement?
5. As you interact with diverse communities, how can sharing your family’s voting story help encourage others and ease their struggles with voter registration and participation?
