Election Worker Recruitment
by Reinhardt, Sarah (MDOS) 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Greetings, I hope you and yours are well! I'm writing to see if Libraries in Michigan can help spread the word about our state's need for election workers. Democracy is a team sport, and on Election Day poll workers are democracy's most valuable players. Because of the current COVID-19 crisis, local clerks statewide are facing poll worker shortages. Clerks rely on election workers and we have seen the impact of poll worker shortages during elections in other states - election workers are critical to the running of safe, smooth and fair elections. To recruit new and effective poll workers, we launched the Democracy MVP<http://www.michigan.gov/democracyMVP> initiative. With your help, we hope Michiganders from across the state will answer this call to action. Libraries in Michigan is a community leader and our office would be grateful to partner with you and your members and community to help spread the word about Democracy MVP election worker recruitment. Let me know if this is something you are open to and we can continue discussions on how to raise awareness about this paid opportunity. Thank you so much for your time. You can learn more at Michigan.gov/DemocracyMVP<http://www.Michigan.gov/democracyMVP>. Kindest regards, Sarah Sarah Reinhardt Departmental Analyst Michigan Department of State Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson ReinhardtS(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:ReinhardtS@Michigan.gov>

The Smithsonian's Voices and Votes--American Democracy: Applications Accepted until August 13, 2020
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

The Smithsonian's Voices and Votes--American Democracy: Applications Accepted until August 13, 2020 Michigan Humanities is partnering with the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street program to bring the traveling exhibit Voices and Votes: Democracy in America to Michigan in 2021. Six host communities will have the opportunity to host the exhibit rent-free for six weeks. When American revolutionaries waged a war for independence they took a leap of faith that sent ripple effects across generations. They embraced a radical idea of establishing a government that entrusted the power of the nation not in a monarchy, but in its citizens. That great leap sparked questions that continue to impact Americans: who has the right to vote, what are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens, and whose voices will be heard? Voices and Votes: Democracy in America will be a springboard for discussions about those very questions and how they are reflected in local stories. Voices and Votes is based on a major exhibition currently on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. This Museum on Main Street adaptation will have many of the same dynamic features: historical and contemporary photos; educational and archival video; engaging multimedia interactives with short games and additional footage, photos, and information; and historical objects like campaign souvenirs, voter memorabilia, and protest material. To learn more about becoming a host site and to apply please visit the Michigan Humanities website: https://www.michiganhumanities.org/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michi…> For questions about the exhibit please contact Director of Grants, James Nelson, by email at jnelson(a)mihumanities.org<mailto:jnelson@mihumanities.org>. Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan Michigan Department of Education 517-335-1498 Norriss2(a)michigan.gov<mailto:Norriss2@michigan.gov> https://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan https://mel.org<https://mel.org/> http://michlibrary.org<http://michlibrary.org/> I am on temporary lay-off status on Mondays only from May 18 - July 20.
