IWCAN's Voter Engagement Committee

Uniting voters of every race, faith, and background across Cherokee County

Join us if you believe:

No one’s vote should be taken for granted—or stolen.

For generations, politicians and power brokers have tried to silence the voices of Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous, and working-class white voters. We know the games they play—voter purges, intimidation, closing polling places, spreading lies about who belongs and who doesn’t. We’re here to say: not anymore. Your vote is your birthright, and we’ll fight for it, together.

History, culture, and language are strengths to be celebrated.

We don’t hide who we are. We speak our truth, honor our ancestors, and tell our children the real story of America—one of resilience, struggle, and hope across every background. We reject attempts to erase Black and Brown history from classrooms, ban books, or divide us by language or faith. Our diversity is our superpower.

When we turn out together, we win together.

Every community—rural or urban, old or young, first-generation or born here—has a stake in building real democracy. When we show up for each other, we outnumber the money and the hate. That’s how we win fair elections, better schools, safer neighborhoods, and a future that belongs to all of us—not just the wealthy or well-connected.

Meet the Team Behind the Work

From veteran organizers to rising young leaders, our team includes members who’ve worked with civil rights groups, mobilized voters in underrepresented communities, and built trust block by block across Cherokee County.

We come from different racial, generational, and cultural backgrounds—but we’re united by a shared belief: every vote should count, and every voter should be seen.
