Faith-Based Community Action

Poll workers play a vital role in protecting our community’s right to vote during early voting and on election day. The North Carolina Black Alliance provides training to equip these election protection volunteers with the necessary tools and knowledge to safeguard our voting rights effectively.

Souls to the Polls is a powerful Black church tradition and voter mobilization initiative that bridges faith and civic engagement. This historic event, typically held on Sundays before Election Day, transforms Sunday worship into a community-wide effort to exercise voting rights.  We partner with local faith communities, recognizing their vital role in promoting democratic participation and empowering voters.

Designed by April Parker, NCBA Faith Fellow and founder of Architect of Black Space, Sunday Stroll aligns with the Souls to the Polls tradition. Local Black churches will encourage congregations to canvass their communities with voter ID literature after biweekly Sunday services. NC Black Alliance Faith Fellows will support by attending services, hosting information sessions, and providing canvassing materials. Participants will receive training before canvassing. Canvassing frequency will depend on the church’s capacity and desire.
