Alabama Minority Leader Anthony Daniels, District 53

On June 12th, Representative Anthony Daniels, Rep. Laura Hall, and United Women of Color presented a non-partisan voter turn-out initiative meeting at G’s Country Kitchen.

Part of the mission of the initial meeting was to organize groups, community leaders, and political activists to ensure that every registered voter, especially the Black voters vote in the midterm election in November. Emphasis was placed on House Districts 4,6,10,19,20,21,22,25,53 and the impact of the local elections.

Across sections of community leaders, organizations were in attendance. Literature was distributed and showed the data on the infrequent voters in house districts, criminal justice, and economic reasons to vote.

For further information, call Angela Curry at 256- 527-1013 for the next meeting.
