Every Vote Matters: The Power of Your Voice, from Student Elections to the Supreme Court

“An exceptional in-depth look into the power of voting and Supreme Court rulings. A fantastic addition to any library serving young adults as it offers engaging and thought-provoking information on rulings affecting their everyday lives.”

“A nice look at how much our votes can matter and the intersection between the voting participation of ordinary people and Supreme Court decisions.”

“Exceptionally thorough examination of the voting process. This never loses sight of its target audience: many of the Supreme Court cases addressed have to do with education and juvenile rights, and each chapter ends with a ‘Talk, Think, Take Action’ section that encourages teen readers to relate the cases back to their own lives and discuss the effects of each.”

“Clear explanations, relevant supplemental cases, reader-directed questions, and suggested resources help make the legal issues at play relevant and readily accessible. . . . A fascinating window into recent U.S. legal history.”

“Tom and Natalie Jacobs make the importance of a wide array of Supreme Court rulings clear and accessible in a way that will help student discuss their government and how they can help shape it. We are in urgent need of effective civic education, and Every Vote Matters is an excellent contribution that deserves wide readership.”
