We loved hosting Noah and Natalya from Brown Votes! They registered a few teens, and gave out lots of voting resources to our patrons.

With this being a big year for Rhode Island elections, a Providence Mayoral election, a Federal Senate election, both Federal House of Representative elections, and Rhode Island House and Senate elections, we're so thankful they came and helped members of the Wanskuck community be prepared!
