Abstract
Social workers offer powerful skills and perspectives to policy practice and advocacy, whether it is to register voters or run for office. This book provides resources to students and practitioners to help members of our communities exercise their voting rights, and to demystify the process of running for office -- all through a social work lens. Fourteen chapters guide students and practitioners as they analyze modern-day policies meant to suppress voting, including asking why? Why would anyone want to strategize to prevent people from voting? Then, they examine how nonprofits and public agencies can (completely legally) encourage the people they serve to register to vote, help to educate them about issues that impact them, and assist and energize them to vote.
