THE RIGHT TO VOTE
It took 72 years to secure the right to vote for all American Women. Every vote does count and when we register and vote, we decide. Our objective is to educate, register and mobilize Delawareans in order to make a difference through public policy and voter empowerment. We communicate our efforts through meetings with community groups, sponsoring candidate's forums, and support of or opposition to legislation impacting women of color and the community.
We are a non-partisan organization and, therefore, we do not endorse any specific candidate or party. In our forums, we share information on the issues that we believe to be so important to registered voters to drive them to the polls. In partnership with the Multicultural Judges and Lawyers Section and the Martin Luther King Voter Registration initiative, we encourage residents to be aware of the issues that impact them and to exercise their right to vote. Please exercise your right to vote!Vision. Initiative. Integrity. Accountability. Leadership. Service. Global Knowledge. Teamwork.
