Allyson Felix Partners to Provide Child Care for North Carolina Voters

The Olympic champion collaborates with Chamber of Mothers to support mothers at the polls by offering free child care services.

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.
