Our 2019 Moxie Interns!

June 6, 2019 by Audrey Muck Leave a Comment

Please join us in welcoming our 2019 MOXIE Summer Interns!

ERA-NC Alliance MOXIE intern, Kate Shurtleff Kate Jacqueline Shurtleff grew up in Morehead City, North Carolina and currently attends the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she majors in Communication and Women’s & Gender Studies. Upon graduating from UNC, she plans to attend law school and hopes to have a career in human or civil rights law. Through her work with the ERA-NC Alliance, she hopes to not only advance the ERA in the state of North Carolina, but also become more aware of the process of legal activism. Her goals for her participation in the program are to grow as a professional, become more comfortable and familiar with activism in the non-profit sector, and explore the possibility of the legal profession in such activism.

ERA-NC Alliance MOXIE intern, Ann-Marie IngramAnn-Marie Ingram is a rising senior at UNC-Chapel Hill and is originally from Statesville, NC. She will graduate from UNC in the Spring of 2020 with majors in Political Science and Public Policy as well as a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. After college, Ann Marie hopes to work with organizations that recruit and support women in running for public political offices. She also takes a special interest in policies that protect and represent the interests of women. Thus, she hopes to learn more about the political processes that go into passing legislation in her work with the ERA-NC Alliance this summer. 

Our 2019 Moxie scholars will gain a better understanding of the legislative and social challenges with enacting laws to ensure equality for women.  They’ll be working on 4 projects this summer: 
1)  Increase membership in the ERA-NC Alliance among college-aged women and men.   
2)  Increase diversity:  Understand the needs of and engage with various communities with communication focused on how the ERA will benefit all. 
3)  Broaden political support across the spectrum for the Equal Rights Amendment. 
4)  Educate: 
Part of their experience will be in assisting or preparing for education on the Equal Rights Amendment including displays, programs, written materials, website updates, etc.

The MOXIE Project is an academic and community engagement project through UNC Chapel Hill’s Carolina Women’s Center. Students take a hands-on approach to women’s activism through community organizations during these summer internships, and in the process develop their own sense of activism and community engagement.
