Sorors,
The most important election of our lifetime is this Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Some of you have already cast your ballot. For those voting on election day, establish a plan now. Be prepared to wait in line. Take anything you need to sustain yourself while waiting to vote (snacks, water, medication, portable chair).
Lastly, we encourage all sorors to wear pearls on election day to show our collective impact and power.
Please call or email me with any questions at dtiece08@gmail.com or (405) 202-5114.
