1 A Common Vision CHAVEZ FOUNDATION Voter Registration Campaign Educator Training Packet 1
2 INTRODUCTION When you have people together that believe in something very strongly, whether it be politics, unions or religion- things happen. Cesar E. Chavez Cesar Estrada Chavez, Senator Robert F. Kennedy noted, was one of the heroic figures of our time. A true American hero, Cesar was a civil rights, Latino, farm worker, and labor leader; a religious and spiritual figure; a community servant and social entrepreneur; a crusader for nonviolent social change; and an environmentalist and consumer advocate. In founding and leading the first successful farm workers union in American history from 1962 to 1993, Cesar achieved for hundreds of thousands of farm workers dignity and respect, fair wages, medical coverage, pension benefits, humane living conditions, and countless other rights and protections. In the process, he led, against previously insurmountable odds, successful strikes and boycotts, resulting in the first industry-wide labor contracts in the history of American agriculture. His union s efforts also led to the passage of the groundbreaking legislation to protect farm workers, including the only law in the nation that protects their right to unionize, the 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act. The significance and impact of Cesar s life transcends any one cause or struggle. A unique and humble leader, humanitarian, and communicator, Cesar influenced and inspired millions of Americans to seek social justice and civil rights for the poor and disenfranchised in our society. In the process, he forged a diverse and extraordinary national coalition of middle-class consumers students, minorities, including Latinos, Filipinos, Jews, Native Americans, African Americans, and gays and lesbians. The Cesar E. Chavez Foundation Voter Registration Campaign: A Common Vision is a multifaceted service-learning experience developed to enhance civic participation amongst youth and community members. Youth have the opportunity to work with their local communities to organize a voter registration drive as a powerful way to learn about and understand our democratic society and to effect positive change. This project will also help enhance and support the Academic Curriculum bringing to life Cesar E. Chavez s values and philosophy that we don t need perfect political systems, we need perfect participation. 2
3 PROJECT SUMMARY The Chavez Voter Registration Campaign: A Common Vision project can be summarized in three parts: Pre-Service, Service, and Post-Service Activities. The Pre- Service Activities are focused on classroom study of Cesar E. Chavez and the United Farm Worker s efforts to improve migrant farm worker conditions through organizing and registering people to vote. Students learn the importance of civic engagement, understanding legislation and the legislative process, and the power of exercising their right to vote. The Service Activity involves organizing an awareness campaign on the importance of voting, conducting a voter registration drive, and creating an information packet for newly registered voters and community members, which could include information on polling places, crucial election dates, and addresses of local government officials. The Post-Service Activities provide students with structured time to reflect on what they have learned, the positive impact they have made in their communities, and ways in which they can continue to be involved in effecting positive social change. 3
4 CHAVEZ FOUNDATION VOTER REGISTRATION CAMPAIGN OUTLINE Teacher Training Teachers will participate in a one-day training provided by the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation. Participants will develop an understanding of the Chavez Foundation curriculum A Common Vision focused on voter history in the United States, Chavez 10 Core Values, and organizing an awareness campaign. Teachers will discuss and develop a timeline to execute the 3-day curriculum in their classes that will align with CHAVEZ FOUNDATION Saturday s of Service.. Classroom Engagement Teachers will implement the 3-day curriculum A Common Vision as outlined in the teacher training. Teachers will organize student participation for two Saturday s of Service. Students will then participate in any two of five Saturday s of Service to complete the service-learning project (see page 5 for schedule). Chavez Foundation Saturdays of Service Chavez Foundation will work with community partners to organize and host 5 Saturday s of Service. During each Saturday of Service, youth participants and community members will gather to register new voters. The day program will begin with a speaker from the community who is engaged in the political/civic process to share their experience with participants. Then participants will be divided into three organizing committees: Voter Information, Community Issues, and Voter Action. Each committee will focus on gathering and preparing information relevant to the local voter. All participants will then develop a voter registration strategy and goal, develop their plan of action and register community members in the local area to vote. Youth and community members will regroup to evaluate/reflect on the experience. Chavez Foundation Celebration Chavez Foundation will host a culmination celebration for all participants in December. Teachers, youth participants, and community partners will be recognized for their involvement and civic participation. Youth participants will receive Chavez Foundation certificates of achievement. 4

6 METHODOLOGY A Common Vision project is based on an experiential teaching methodology called service-learning that links volunteer service with the academic curriculum. This methodology allows students the opportunity to learn and develop through experience and active participation. Service-learning is characterized by the following elements: Academic Learning The service performed helps students acquire values, skills, and/or knowledge. Civic Responsibility The service helps meet a need in the community, as defined by the community. Participation helps students see a place for themselves in community and society. Collaboration Teachers and students work with community members or outside agencies in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project. Youth Voice Students are given ample opportunity to express their thoughts, make choices, and play an active role in the learning process and project planning. Reflection Thoughtful reflection is incorporated into activities before (to prepare), during (to troubleshoot), and after (to process and extend learning from) the project. Evaluation Information is collected and analyzed on the effectiveness of the project. 6
7 RESEARCH BASE The research on service-learning in K-12 schools shows that positive outcomes can accrue for students, teachers, and community members. Student impacts have been documented in four areas: Personal/Social Development In various studies, students have been shown to have significant gains on measures of efficacy ( I can make a difference ), self-confidence, resilience (avoidance of risk behaviors like smoking or unprotected sexual relations), and feelings of competence. Students participating in service-learning have also demonstrated greater respect for diverse populations, more empathy or ability to see things from multiple perspectives, and better relationships with more adults. Academic Achievement Studies have shown that when the service-learning is linked closely with school curricula and content standards, students score higher on state assessments, show particular gains in higher order thinking skills (such as analysis and inference), and score higher on measures on cognitive complexity. Civic Responsibility/Engagement Research provides evidence that participation in service-learning is associated with increases in students feelings of connectedness with the community; willingness to take action to solve community problems, and understanding of economic, political, and social conditions. These outcomes are maximized when service-learning makes the civic linkages more explicit by the teachers. Career Exploration By exposing students to multiple new careers and helping them feel a sense of efficacy as they provide service, young people have been shown to increase their knowledge of career possibilities and their own aspirations. Teachers also derive benefits from their participation in service-learning. Research shows that while service-learning takes more time for planning than other methods of instruction, it is more strongly aligned to the ways most teachers believe students learn best. Service-learning stimulates energy in a school and positive engagement in the teaching and learning process. It is associated with greater faculty coherence and collaboration. Community members also benefit beyond the actual service provided. Many come to see young people as positive assets and resources rather than problems. 7
8 GOALS AND STANDARDS GOALS To examine Cesar E. Chavez s life and work in regards to voter registration and get out the vote efforts.

9 PROJECT TIMELINE A COMMON VISION CURRICULUM Learn about the voting process. (The importance of registering to vote, voting requirements, and how to register individuals to vote.) Spend time in-class learning about Cesar E. Chavez, his life, work, and values. Discuss the issues of apathy and empowerment through voting. Design collateral materials on the importance of voting e.g. fliers, brochures, booklet. Create a Voter 411 Guide including basic voter information. 1 WEEK BEFORE CHAVEZ FOUNDATION SATURDAY OF SERVICE Create a list of youth participants Promote voter registration drive in the community (e.g. dropping fliers, and fax blasts, posting in local community calendars/papers, and tabling at local events and near-by high schools, colleges, or universities. SATURDAY OF SERVICE ~ VOTER REGISTRATION Conduct Voter Registration Drive either door-to-door or at a stationary location. Distribute collateral materials on the importance of voting. (If needed.) Bring water to the stationary site. Pass out informational material once a person has registered to vote. Bring a camera to document the youth in action. Publicize your efforts in local media and community newsletters. Reflect on the impact of the number of newly registered voters. ONE WEEK AFTER THE PROJECT Fill out the project response form and return it to the Cesar Chavez Foundation. Fill out LAUSD Service-learning Certificate and return to School S-L Lead. 9
10 COLLATERAL MATERIAL It is always helpful to have both outreach and collateral materials to get others involved in the voter registration and get out the vote drive including a pamphlet, brochure and/or flyer on the importance of voting in an election. This information should be designed by students and passed out to inform others about the voter registration and get out the vote drive. The information should also be translated into other prominent languages in the community. In addition, students could design and distribute a Voter 411 Guide that will have useful information for voters. The Voter 411 Guide could contain logistical data such as polling place addresses, transportation options, accessibility to translators that will explain local voting procedures, and basic voter rights information. The Resource Section of this guide contains valuable information on organizations, web sites, and additional curricula on civic engagement and voter registration. CONSIDER LIABILITY Although risk factors are low, it is a good idea to plan ahead in case of an emergency. Responsibility for damage or injury must be addressed. For any and all off-campus activities, educators must send home the standard school permission slip that describes important project information, requests emergency contacts, and determines school liability. Please note that this project involves students leaving campus to conduct voter registration and get out the vote efforts either through door-to-door solicitation or at a central location. It is suggested that students work in pairs while canvassing neighborhoods and standing in front of public buildings. CONDUCTING POST-REFLECTION Reflection is a very important component of this project. Youth should be given time before, during, and after the service experience to think about what they have learned and why this is important to their lives. This can be done through small group discussions, journal entries, artwork, etc. Reflection is useful before and after students learn about Cesar E. Chavez and his values, the impact of legislation through our elected officials and how voting can make a significant difference in our society. Students should also reflect on the importance of civic engagement. During service, students can assess the strengths and weaknesses of the voting registration drive and the usefulness of the information packets and collateral materials. Post-reflection is particularly effective in tying the various components of the project together. 10

15 CESAR E. CHAVEZ- CIVIC ENGAGEMENT CONNECTIONS As a child, Cesar E. Chavez worked long hours in the fields. He lived in poverty shared by thousands of farm worker families, and later said that the suffering made him strong. o What are the working and living conditions of migrant farm workers? (How many hours do they work and what are farm workers paid?) Do you feel that these conditions influenced Cesar in forming a union? Is there legislation today on working conditions such as hourly pay and benefits? Do they apply to farm workers? Growing up, Cesar also experienced the pain of prejudice. When he was in school he was force to wear a sign that said I m a clown, I speak Spanish, by a teacher who did not recognize the value and importance of speaking two languages. o What legislation today protects people from prejudicial actions? Cesar also realized the need for better housing and improved health conditions in the farm fields. (HOUSING STATS) o Is there housing and health legislation today to protect the farm workers? In 1952, Cesar went to work for the CSO (Community Service Organization) and registered many Latinos to vote. Cesar understood that through organizing and collective action things in the barrio (community) of Sal Si Puedes (get out if you can) would change. o What percentage of the Latino population is registered to vote today? What percentage actually votes? 15
16 In 1962, Cesar E. Chavez, alongside Dolores Huerta, his brother Richard, and a few supporters the United Farm Workers was established to protect and promote the rights of farm workers. o How does a union represent community action/organizing? Cesar was effective in utilizing tactics such as strikes, boycotts, marches, picket lines, and fasting as a means to generate awareness and recruit supporters for, la causa, the farm workers struggle for justice, dignity, and equality. o Are strikes, boycotts, marches, picket lines, and fasting an effective way to get people involved in a cause or struggle? How do you express your voice in local causes affecting the community? In 1975, the Agricultural Labor Relations Act was passed by Governor Jerry Brown, which gave farm workers the right to organize a union and hold democratic elections. o Is voting an effective way to pass and advocate for key legislation? Cesar also taught others about the dangers of pesticides that caused cancer and birth defects among children whose parents lived near and worked in the fields. o How can you get involved in informing your community about key issues affecting the health of the community? Is health an important issue in the upcoming or recent elections? 16
