Kassaundra Lockhart Discusses Her Early Voting Site Getting Shut Down

Kassaundra Lockhart

On October 31,  Women AdvaNCe with sponsorship from Blueprint, operated 7 Early Voting SafeSites.

Folks who were voting could come by our tables to get free PPE, food, activities for their children and entertainment.

It was mostly smooth sailing for all sites, because after all these were non-partisan activities.

In Lexington, however, our SafeSite operator Kassaundra Lockhart was asked to leave.

Find out her story in our linked video.
