Slutty Vegan and #WinWithBlackWomen, two powerhouse Black women-led organizations – are teaming up to drive early voter turnout and civic engagement in the last three days of Georgia’s early voting period. Together, they’re bringing a dynamic three-day “Party to the Polls” activation with volunteers from Black-led organizations encouraging residents to vote early and providing transportation vouchers to polls at restaurant locations in Edgewood, Ralph David, Jonesboro, and Gwinnett between Wednesday, Oct. 30 and Friday, Nov. 1, the last day to vote early in Georgia.
The activation leads up to a major celebration at Slutty Vegan Edgewood on Friday, November 1st from 2:00-6:00pm ET, including transportation to the polls, a Halloween Block Party with local DJs, surprise appearances by influential leaders and celebrities, and timed discounts for restaurant customers. This initiative amplifies the strength of Black women’s leadership, inspiring communities across Georgia to exercise their right to vote and embrace the power of civic participation.
