🗳️ Your community needs poll workers.

Free and fair elections depend on everyday people who are willing to serve.

Sebastian County is recruiting paid poll workers. If you're a registered voter and interested in supporting the electoral process, training is available and typically lasts 3–4 hours.

Training sessions may be offered weekly when enough participants sign up, so don't assume it's too late to get involved.
As voting season approaches—from early voting through Election Day on November 3—poll workers play a vital role in helping voters cast their ballots and ensuring elections run smoothly.

📞 Contact Mandy Cravey at 479-629-3846 to learn about upcoming training sessions and how to apply.

Strong elections start with informed voters—and dedicated poll workers. 💜

A successful event today organized by our Young Adult Committee of the Sebastian County NAACP and River Valley Fuerte!

A beautiful morning at the Lavaca Berry Festival! 🍓

Equality & Justice for ALL. ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈

has always been both a declaration and a demand.

A declaration that LGBTQIA+ lives are worthy of joy, dignity, and respect. A demand that the systems around us rise to meet that truth.

This month, we celebrate the resilience of a community that has never stopped pushing for a more just world, and we recommit to that push alongside you.

Equity isn't a destination for some. It's a future we must build together, for everyone.
