As we regularly talk about making sure womxn’s voices are included in the political system, let us emphasize the power of our vote to decide who is at the tables where decisions are made!
The Rhode Island General Election is November 3rd
The Womxn Project is a 501(c)4 which means we don’t endorse. However there is a lot we will do that relates directly to the election through education and calls to action across the state, while being COVID-safe.
1. Have questions about voting? The 211 voter assistance hotline launched in August so dial 2-1-1.
