Attached are photos from the Fruit of Labor World Cultural Center's Voter PPE Safe Site Day at Green Road Cntr/ Raleigh, NC Early Polling Site on October 15th.
NC Public Service Workers Union-UE Local 150, Trawick Downs Neighborhood Organization, National Conference of Black Lawyers -NC Chapt., BWFJ and FOL WCC volunteers gave support and staffed it with political issue literature/info, snacks, cold water and tea, music and fun!
All 17 volunteers helped with "security", programming, networking with and encouraging voters as well as distribution of water, snacks and PPE kits. It was amazing! Some volunteers who were initially scheduled to complete 4 hour shifts, ended up staying 2 or 3 hours longer! We had a great time playing music, throwing out trivia questions to voters in line, doing the electric slide, cupid shuffle, the wobble & biker's shuffle line dances. We also got the word out about the FOLWCC - who we are and what resources we continue to share with the community as well as our upcoming events. Hopefully, future outreach to the new contacts we made will help more community members to become politically active, build community organization and power.
