The League of Women Voters of North Carolina is marking 100 years of work toward securing voting rights of North Carolina citizens. On Sept. 25, we took a few moments to celebrate this milestone, to reflect on both our successes and failures, and to imagine a more just and inclusive society for both our nation and our organization. In this program, national and local leaders inspired and re-energized us for the important work ahead. Speakers included: author, educator, activist, advocate, and historian Dr. Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins, whose talk was entitled "To Finish the Fight"; LWVUS President Dr. Deborah Turner; Allison Riggs of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice; and more! We also discussed how to use and support the League’s award-winning voter assistance tool, www.VOTE411.org, which ensures access to non-partisan information essential to the democratic process.
