A chance meeting, at the commemoration of 400 years of Representative Democracy, was the genesis of a collaboration between League of Women Voters of Virginia and Norfolk State University. Virginia Tech Center for Leadership & Service Learning and Campus Vote rounded out the team. Our goal was to examine voting rights and redistricting and their impact on democracy and who is represented. We also wanted to lift up student voices and why voting is important.
