Welcome to Decoding Democracy

This interview series aims to shed light onto American political and legal systems, with the goal of helping youth gain a multidisciplinary and inter-generational perspective of functional political and legal processes. The series is broken down into a variety of subjects, including elections, criminal justice, immigration, education, and local politics. Each video interview dives into a sub-theme in depth. To culminate the project the video interviews will be synthesized to create integrated educational modules that synthesize the material and promote youth civic engagement and education.
