Unity Walk to the Polls — Sunday, October 25
Every voice. Every vote. Let’s walk together! Join more than 20 Guilford County organizations for a multicultural, interfaith, and nonpartisan walk to early voting.
📍 Meet: Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, 901 E. Friendly Ave.
🕑 2:00 PM
We’ll begin with speakers, the Community Gospel Choir, Grimsley High School Blue Steel Drumline, and giant butterfly puppets from Paperhand Puppet Intervention, then walk 9/10 of a mile to the early voting site at the old Guilford County Courthouse, 301 W. Market St.
Once there, enjoy music from Singing Resistance and the Piedmont Raging Grannies, a Kids’ Mock Voting Booth, voter information, and tables from participating organizations.
Everyone is welcome! No registration is required, but registration is encouraged for accessibility and shuttle planning. Carpooling is encouraged, and shuttles will be available as needed to return walkers to the church.
Bring your family, friends, neighbors, and community. Let’s walk together and show what unity looks like!
