The purpose of the Voter Engagement Initiative is to establish a collaboration among organizations and individuals to work jointly in order to implement an aggressive voter participation campaign that results in high voter turnout/participation from all communities in Greensboro, Guilford County, and throughout North Carolina with a particular focus on increasing the participation of African American and Latinx voters, as well as young voters in the upcoming local, state, and national elections.

The Black & Brown Women’s Get out the Vote Campaign returns in 2022, for early voting and our primary elections scheduled for May 17, 2022.

Our present partners include Greensboro Pulpit Forum, members of the local chapter of Bennett College Alumnae Association, National Council of Negro Women, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

We have decided on a community meeting schedule beginning on April 14, 2022, extending to Tuesday, May 17, 2022, which is Primary Election Day. Our meetings will be provided via Zoom as well as in-person.
Our particular areas of focus include canvassing, developing a social media platform, creating events /programs, and providing transportation just to mention a few methods of voter engagement.
Everyone is invited to a seat at the table to share, brainstorm and support the work that is on-going and planned to get our community to the polls either in early voting or on Primary Election Day.
These meetings will be held every Thursday at 7:00 PM. This will be a Zoom or in-person event and hosted by the Beloved Community Center located at 417 Arlington Street, Greensboro, North Carolina.
