"This may not mean anything to somebody who is accustomed to civic action or to somebody who has always recognized the power they have. But for me, being a poor black girl from Baltimore, knowing I helped pass two pieces of important legislation makes me feel invincible."-Taikira White, The Intersection A young girl from Baltimore became active in civic engagement due to seeing kids like herself not go very far or even worse die. These two girls took a stand when most people just want to look the other way. It is easier to just leave things the way they are instead of standing up and trying to make a change for something that you believe in or think is right, What an inspiration these two young ladies are, they fought for what they wanted and are not only doing something for themselves they are helping their community and trying to make it a better place.

Taking on many forms, civic engagement at SMFA permeates faculty curriculum, student initiatives and additional programming. MFA have incorporated art and civic engagement together. They have connected art to important social values in communities that are important to them. They hope that a program like this will gain support and have participants become active in the community. The hopes of a program like this are changing the world in a positive way.

A great article that talks about involving parents in the learning process. With so many grandparents raising their grandchildren, this is a great way for them to stay involved with the schools, get out of the house, and make a difference. Children love and thrive when their parents are involved in their schools. Last week, my son's school has Math Morning and every classroom was full of parents there to support and learn how they can engage their children and themselves in the common core math that is now being taught. Many of us did not grow up with common core and we are learning alongside our children.

Digital Media and Learning: Democratic Futures 2013 - 0 views

There has been a longstanding narrative of youth political apathy and disengagement from democratic life. However, this perception is now giving way to a richer account, one that seeks to illuminate the dynamic ways in which young people are redefining expressions of "citizenship," "political engagement," and "democracy." As the currents of social, political, financial, and global change intensify, what is the future of participatory democracy, youth activism, and civic and political education? How are the practices and forms of participatory democracy evolving in the age of social, digital, and mobile media? And what do these transformational practices reveal about democratic futures?

Here is a unique mode of civic engagement. - "A Tennessee lawmaker has relented and agreed to drop his bill linking academic performance to the family's welfare benefits after an 8-year-old girl shamed him by following him around the state Capitol."

Summary: Scotland passes gay marriage. This shows civic engagement because throughout the post people can be seen in both support and opposition of marriage equality. These types of activism show the different sides of civic engagement.
