For the past few months, K. Rae Gilbert has been sharing her work-in-progress, When We March, with area classrooms. This picture book captures the joy and power of civic participation from a child’s perspective. It explains why citizens in a democracy—even the very youngest!—take to the streets in peaceful protest. We would like to extend a special thank you to Kimberly Gilbert for her devotion to Democracy and allowing us to interview and feature her in our podcast. WhenWeMarch.com
We would also like to extend a thank you to Senator Stephen Fenberg of Boulder, Colorado, for taking the time to let us interview him for our podcast. We sincerely appreciate his time as well as his legislative efforts on behalf of Democracy and education. To learn more about Senator Fenberg visit his website at: http://www.stevefenberg.org/
We would also like to thank Edgar and Raquel for allowing us to come into their home and learn more about their life as parents of two daughters in the education system. Their perspective as immigrants from Paraguay added such depth to our research.
