Overview

• Chamber of Mothers, with Olympian Allyson Felix, is offering up to two hours of paid child care for mothers voting in North Carolina.
• The initiative targets Black mothers in North Carolina, a state struggling with child care resources and recent impacts from Hurricane Helene.
• Felix's advocacy for mothers stems from her past experiences, including a dispute with Nike over pay cuts during her pregnancy.
• Voters can access child care reimbursements and a drop-in site in Wake County, with similar efforts in major cities like Los Angeles and Chicago.
• Early voting in North Carolina shows high turnout, although Black voter participation has decreased by 10% compared to 2020.
