National Voter Registration Day

Last year, millions of Americans didn’t vote because they missed a registration deadline. National Voter Registration Day is a day of action before state deadlines begin in October.

Held on the fourth Tuesday of every September, National Voter Registration Day is designed to highlight the importance of voting and to register as many eligible voters as possible. In the photo below, members of the Social Action committee for the Charlotte Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated are assisting customers with voter registration and education at Crisis Assistance Ministry.

While a lot of attention is already being paid to the 2020 elections, 2019 is important too, especially when it comes to local issues, which are truly the ones that directly affect our community.

On November 5, voters will determine many of our government leaders, including Charlotte’s mayor and city council, as well as Mecklenburg County school board members. In order to ensure our representatives reflect our community, everyone’s voice needs to be heard. Make sure you’re ready.

Are you #VoteReady?

  • Register to vote or update your registration online at www.NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org. This is especially important if you’ve recently moved or changed your name.
  • Get personalized voting information, including your polling place and a sample ballot, at Vote411, nonpartisan information provided by the League of Women Voters.
  • Discover North Carolina’s official voting information, brought to you by Nonprofit VOTE.
  • Check your voter registration and obtain additional local information from the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections.

Register. Vote. Be heard. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

The King Center's theme for MLK Day 2023 is "It Start's With Me: Cultivating A Beloved Community Mindset to Transform Unjust Systems." Fifty-five years after his death, we still see the impacts of unjust systems every day at Crisis Assistance Ministry.  Read more in this weekend's blog (link in bio)

Families in Charlotte, and across the country, are struggling to make ends meet. Inflation has outpaced wage growth. People are working harder than ever but still falling behind on rent and utilities. People need more money. But could we use policy to get more money into the hands of those who need it the most? This week's blog takes a look at the potential for Guaranteed Basic Income here in the Queen City. (Link in bio)

"Everybody wants to have that light shine."
Nikki shares what the holidays mean to her family as we reach the end of the year.  Looking back, she's grateful for the help of the community to get her through a financial crisis and back on her feet moving toward economic mobility.
Thousands more families will seek that same kind of help -- to stay safely housed, to keep utilities flowing, to provide clothing and household goods, and to rebuild financial stability -- in 2023.
Visit our quick links to learn more and to make a tax-deductible year-end gift to help more of our neighbors in the coming year.
Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This snack ministry was a little different. Ashley (a.n.outlaw)  from @nachoaveragetruck wanted to provide hot food to neighbors seeking financial assistance or waiting to shop for essentials in the Free Store. So, she brought freshly made beef or veggie burritos and a caring smile to @CrisisAssistMin on a very cold day. It's so inspiring when the community steps up in BIG and small ways.
