Allyson Felix partners in helping North Carolina mothers get childcare in order to vote

Allyson Felix, a nine-time Olympic track and field medalist, is partnering with the non-profit Chamber of Mothers to secure childcare for women voters throughout early voting and the general election as announced Monday.

The group will be supporting mothers in the swing state of North Carolina, offering up to two hours of paid childcare through Politisit.

“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.”

The organization is offering state residents the chance to submit a form for payment reimbursements and will provide a drop-in site in Wake County where mothers can leave their children when they go vote.

“Black mothers here continue to be severely under-resourced, and the horrific storm only compounded these matters, so their vote here truly matters,” Chamber of Mothers shared in their release.
