Vote for Civics!

Vote for Civics and help us empower young students to understand and participate in elections and democracy!

In this historic election year, we’ll celebrate voting through music and civic arts activities, and give our first “Art of Service” award to Busy Graham, Executive Director of Carpe Diem Arts.

Our honored guest will be KARLA SILVESTRE, the President of the Montgomery County Board of Education, and Director of Community Engagement for Montgomery College. She is also a driving force behind the MC Votes Coalition, a working group of faculty, students and staff that promotes voter education and engagement at Montgomery College.

We’ll enjoy delicious food and drink with our co-hosts, Jeffrey Slavin and Margo Reid, and we’ll also have a silent action, civic songs with wonderful children’s entertainer Nick Newlin, and creative activities where you will be invited to create civic art and reflect on what voting means to you.

We extend big gratitude to Arts on the Block for inviting us to gather in their beautiful headquarters on the ground floor of the Silver Spring Library.
