Triangle-Wide LGBTQ+ and Ally Voter Mobilization Effort:
This event is more than just an evening of entertainment—it’s the kickoff to a broader voter mobilization effort! On October 19th, we are planning to organize meet-ups at local LGBTQ+ Centers or alternative locations across Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties. From there, we’ll gather together and transport voters to polling places for early voting. Let’s make sure we show up in numbers, bring friends and allies, and make our voices heard at the polls!
How You Can Get Involved:
- Join Us on October 12th for a night of community, celebration, and voter education.
- Help with Voter Mobilization: If you have contacts, ideas, or would like to help organize meet-ups and transportation for early voting on October 19th, please reach out! We welcome your support and involvement.
Let's come together, have a great time, and make sure our voices are heard this election season! 🌈🗳️
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the event!
