This weekend, members from All Souls Church, Unitarian will head to North Carolina in collaboration with UU Church of Charlotte & the Piedmont UU Church to work on voter registration in Charlotte. North Carolina is considered by many to be the most serious battleground in the emerging national fight over voters’ rights. Since the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013 overturned key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 22 states have passed laws making it harder for certain groups to vote, with the impact felt most by people of color, poor people, and students. North Carolina has passed particularly severe laws hampering the ability of many to vote, activists say. To read more about the work of All Souls Church, Unitarian as well as the organizing led by North Carolina NAACP via UU World read below. #VotingRightsNow
