Abstract/Summary
Smart Choices, Strong Voices (SCSV) is a financial and voter education pamphlet for students that is easy to understand and unbiased and helps to create a more financially and politically literate generation. The expectation for young adults in today's current world is for us to be able to make well-informed decisions about finances and politics. However, when we are constantly bombarded by misinformation and lack easy access to reliable, accessible education in these topics, these expectations become unreasonable. Exposure to this misinformation affects how we show up for ourselves and our democracy. As our world becomes more and more politically polarized, the education surrounding financial literacy becomes harder and harder to obtain. SCSV helps to educate students on the importance of voting and finances in today's world. Regardless of your socioeconomic background or political views, getting real information is paramount to making educated decisions, and I believe that giving students resources and tips in an easy-to-understand way is something that is critical to our success.
