The Light’s Summer
Intern Projects⇢
For the past three years, The Light’s special 6-week program has produced some outstanding student work. Take a look:
With Vice President Kamala Harris taking President Joe Biden’s spot as the Democratic nominee for the upcoming presidential election, women voters are in the spotlight more than ever.
Women on the South Coast said they are excited and inspired by the possibility of a woman president, acknowledging the importance of having diverse representation in the political world.
Social and civil issues regarding women’s rights are now at the forefront of voters’ minds. Does having a woman as a presidential candidate bring more attention to women’s rights? Will the change in candidates bring more women to the polls?
The Light set out to find the answers to these questions.
Having a woman candidate “doesn’t impact my decision about whether I’m voting or which party I’m voting for,” said Pam Schwart, one of the women polled, “but it’s made me a lot more enthusiastic about participation.”
