Civic Engagement & Voting: The Democracy Wall

The Democracy Wall

The Democracy Wall is located on the second floor of the library. Come contribute to the wall by answering the prompt What Does Freedom Look Like. The Democracy Wall is here to encourage conversation and the exchange of ideas. Anyone is welcome to contribute! 

Guidelines for Contributing

The Democracy Wall is a space to cultivate conversations and to share ideas, values, and visions for a better world. Disagreements may arise, but personal attacks are not acceptable. 

Guidelines for the Wall:

  • Engage responsibly with the prompt on the board and keep responses relevant 
  • Ideas should be respectful of people's humanity and dignity with regards to race, religion, class, ability, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity
  • Respect all responses, as this is a free speech zone
  • Speak for yourself, not as a representative of others or groups
  • Do not remove any responses. We encourage you to, respectfully, interact with other responses, whether you agree or disagree with them. If you have an issue with any content, please report it to a library staff member. 

Please Do Not 

  • Post offensive language/images or profanity 
  • Remove any responses
