On Saturday August 22 we participated in the first Nuestra Tierra Festival organized by the newly formed Students Advocating For Change in Immokalee. We were able to interact with many of the youths of this diverse community on the importance of voting and what they need to know to be ready for the general election. It was a fun filled afternoon and we were excited to share our newly printed stickers on voting!

Myth-Busting Monday 👊💥
Remember: A provisional ballot is utilized when a voter's eligibility is in question or when their voting or registration status cannot be verified at the polling site. Provisional ballots serve to protect against voter fraud and are subject to state law. All provisional ballots are examined by the canvassing board.

The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the federal government and all states from denying the right to vote on the basis of s*x, officially guaranteeing American women the right to vote. Passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, it marked the culmination of a decades-long suffrage movement.
