<div class="">Dear Colleague,<br class="">
<br class="">
We write from our positions as legal scholars responsible for teaching and managing the Legal Studies Concentration within the MIT undergraduate curriculum to ask your help in distributing the enclosed materials to the faculty and teaching staff in your department.
Please distribute the enclosed letter and materials from MITvote to as many students and post-docs as possible.<br class="">
<br class="">
We write not from partisan affiliation but from allegiance to the rule of law and the American Constitution, which are significant portions of our teaching and expertise. The American experiment in democracy has been a rare counterfactual to most political
history, surviving while extending its promises of citizen participation over these 245 years.<br class="">
<br class="">
We would be very grateful if you would distribute the attached materials from the MIT/Vote group to the students in your classes, your advisees, and your graduate students.<br class="">
<br class="">
And, please remember to vote. In Massachusetts, there is a Primary Election on September 1, and of course the General Election is on November 3.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you for your help distributing these materials.<br class="">
<br class="">
Susan Silbey<br class="">
Chris Capozzola<br class="">
Malick Ghachem<br class="">
Justin Steil<br class="">
