A National Town Hall on Policing and the Constitution A central part of the National Constitution Center’s mission is to discuss difficult constitutional issues facing our nation so we can learn together in order to form a more perfect union. This has become even more necessary given the recent events around the nation. This Friday, June 5, at noon EDT, we will host a national Town Hall about policing and the Constitution. We will begin with a keynote conversation with Judge Theodore McKee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The conversation will be followed by a panel featuring some of America’s most distinguished constitutional thinkers and historians to discuss qualified immunity for police officers, the history of policing and protest, and the future of the American idea. We are hoping that this will help educators answer student questions about current events and provide the tools needed to continue these difficult conversations. REGISTER Help Us Build the 2020 Scholar Exchange Program We recently ended our spring season of public Scholar Exchanges, which brought constitutional learning directly from scholars to middle school, high school, and college students across the country. As we formulate plans to continue the programming in the fall, we want to use the upcoming months to make any necessary changes and improvements. We are looking for your input on how we can create more informative remote programs to meet the needs of students in middle school and beyond. If you participated in a public Scholar Exchange, a Friday session, or a private Scholar Exchange, and are interested in helping us in this process, please complete this survey. Virtual Constitution Club If you or your students are interested in staying connected with other participants from the exchanges and continuing to learn about the Constitution through a Virtual Constitution Club, email [email protected]. Private Scholar Exchanges Private Scholar Exchanges, which include your class, a scholar, and a moderator, are also available on any of the topics previously discussed in a public Scholar Exchange. Complete a survey here for more information or to register your class to participate. A member of the education team will be in contact to help with the planning process. Virtual Town Hall: A Conversation with Secretary Madeleine Albright Tuesday, June 16, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. EDT Free As part of the National Constitution Center’s yearlong Women and the Constitution initiative in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, join former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright—America’s first female secretary of state—as she reflects on her career in public service, women’s leadership, and her new book, Hell and Other Destinations.

REGISTER We the People Podcast: Voting, the Coronavirus, and the Constitution Coronavirus has presented difficulties in holding presidential primaries this spring and will continue to pose challenges for the general election. Some states have responded by implementing vote by mail (although those decisions have brought logistical challenges like those that Pennsylvania currently faces) while some that have not are facing lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court also recently issued a ruling about voting in Wisconsin in April, the RNC v. DNC case, which involved questions about counting absentee ballots amidst the risks that in-person voting might present. This episode explores those cases as well as the latest news surrounding how Americans will vote in the midst of the pandemic, and, broadly, what the Constitution requires. Download the episode here or wherever you find your favorite podcasts. The National Constitution Center's education team is here to help with any of our online resources.
