Empowering Every Voice in North Carolina

As we approach the 2025 municipal elections, Prosperity North Carolina is launching a voter empowerment series to ensure that every resident especially those in rural and immigrant communities has the tools, resources, and confidence to participate fully in democracy. Early voting begins in August, and now is the time to engage, educate, and empower.

Why Voter Engagement Matters

Local elections shape the policies that directly affect our communities: housing, education, public safety, healthcare, and economic opportunity. Yet, too many residents in rural North Carolina face barriers to participation, from long travel distances to polling sites, confusing registration processes, and language obstacles.

Prosperity NC believes that no one should be silenced because of where they live, their background, or their documentation status. Civic participation is a cornerstone of community power, and our voter empowerment initiatives aim to break down every barrier.

Spotlight: Rural Immigrant Communities

Immigrant residents often face additional hurdles:

• Language barriers that make understanding ballots or election materials difficult.

• Misinformation or fear about eligibility, particularly among undocumented or recently naturalized citizens.

• Limited access to civic resources in smaller towns or rural counties.

Through partnerships with organizations like the Chatham County Hispanic Coalition and local civic groups, PNC is offering workshops, multilingual materials, and one-on-one support to ensure these residents know their rights and can make their voices heard.

Our Voter Empowerment Series

Starting this April, PNC will roll out a series of resources and programming designed to maximize participation ahead of the elections:

• Community Workshops: Learn how to register, check voting status, and navigate early voting and election day procedures.

• Multilingual Guides: Easy-to-read materials available in Spanish and other commonly spoken languages in rural NC communities.

• Virtual Q&A Sessions: Residents can ask questions and get guidance from civic engagement experts and local organizers.

Get Involved

Every vote counts, and every voice matters. Prosperity NC encourages residents to:

• Register or update voter information early.

• Attend local workshops or virtual Q&A sessions.

• Spread the word in your community about the importance of participation.

Looking Forward

By centering equity and inclusion in civic participation, Prosperity North Carolina ensures that rural communities and immigrant populations can influence the decisions that shape their lives. This April, we recommit to empowering every voter, protecting access, and building stronger communities through engagement.
