Late Post: The National Council of Negro Women Inc. Champaign County Section has been incredibly busy this month with GOTV activities. So, before the month is over, it is imperative that I share the important collaboration that happened between the local Section of NCNW, and our affiliates (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho Sororities).
On Tuesday, October 15, 2026, the women of the National Council of Negro Women Inc. Champaign County Section and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Epsilon Epsilon Omega Chapter, facilitated a Postcard Writing campaign. We worked together to invite the Divine Nine sororities to assist in preparing 500 postcards to send to registered voters in Champaign and Urbana, Illinois, who did not vote in the last few elections. We provided the postcards, 2 messages (250 for the first message / mailing and 250 for the second message / mailing - to the same registered voters) and mailing labels for those non-voters. Each organization provided one hundred postcard stamps.
The collaboration was inspiring; the sisterhood was greater than expected and the fellowship was heartwarming!! The collaboration was the first of its kind...I am sure that it will not be the last!!
