The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Harrisburg Chapter, is committed to empowering and enhancing the lives of Black women through advocacy in health, education, economic empowerment, and public policy. In this critical election year, it is paramount that we protect and uplift the voices of our community, especially as we engage in our most important institution – our democracy.
The Freedom to Vote Act would expand early voting, safeguard access to mail-in voting nationwide, and restore electoral integrity.
