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!
