Chamber of Mothers is heading a project to provide up to two hours of paid child care by way of reimbursement either the day of or earlier. Additionally, the organization, combined with Politisit, will provide one location in Wake County where voters can drop their children off while they vote. With the help of other partners, the organization is involved in providing other child care centers in Los Angeles, New York City, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Hoboken, and Chicago.

“Why North Carolina? Black mothers there continue to be severely underresourced, North Carolina is a child care desert, their vote here truly matters, and so many have been further challenged by the recent horrific storm,” Chamber of Mothers wrote in a statement, referring to Hurricane Helene.

“You should never have to choose between your profession, your passions, and motherhood,” Felix said in a statement. “I’m honored to partner with Chamber of Mothers to tell moms that this election, you don’t have to choose between voting and motherhood. This election, you can do both.”
