The Nobles of Kazah Temple #149 and Daughters of Kazah Court #117 AEAONMS, Inc. launched a voter registration and phone banking campaign in the City of Opa-locka.
Imperial Deputy for the Desert of Florida, Honorary Past Imperial Commandress Collette Wallace, reminded volunteers that “voting is our right, it is imperative that citizens participate in all elections.”
The Miami Prince Hall Shriners and Daughters adopted a multi-prong approach of phone banking, digital voter registration, voter education, and distribution of voter access guides to raise awareness on the importance of voter preparedness and participation to Miami-Dade County residents.
Miami Prince Hall Shriners and Daughters coordinated the efforts of a dozen civic and fraternal organizations to increase voter engagement within Opa-locka and the greater Miami-Dade community.
“Given the city’s diversity and growing residential needs, it is important to promote collaborative partnerships amongst groups whose members look like the residents we are engaging,” event organizer, Leslie Elus, shared.
The voter registration campaign’s premier sponsor was Black Voters Matter. Black Voters Matter is a voting rights and community empowerment organization whose mission is to uplift Black and brown communities through its myriad of voter registration, advocacy, and education initiatives.
