Evelina 100 VOTE!

EVELINA 100 VOTER REGISTRATION INITIATIVE

As part of the 100th birth anniversary of famed community organizer, educator and activist Eveliva Antonetty‘s birthday (aka “The Hell Lady of the Bronx”), the E100 Centennial Celebration Committee—and its partners—are conducting a citywide voter registration campaign entitled “EVELINA 100 VOTE!” on September 12, 2022. The campaign is comprised of dozens of locations being facilitated by some of NYC’s most respected institutions from the education, non-profit and civic sectors.

Nos Quedamos, Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC), WHEDco and BronxNet have partnered to host the official E100 voter drive and concert in the South Bronx at the Bronx Music Hall Plaza, located at 438 E. 163rd St, The Bronx, NY 10451. The voter drive begins at 12pm. The Concert starts at 5PM. Download concert flier in English/Spanish (PDF).

LADIES TAKE THE DAY - "VOTES FOR WOMEN!" CONCERT

Evelina Antonetty used to have cuatrista, Yomo Toro, play music to attract people to their voter registration table.  In that spirit, Nos Quedamos will have a voter registration table at the BMH Plaza during the “VOTE FOR WOMEN!” concert of women vocalists and musicians performing songs which they composed in honor of the centennial of women getting the right to vote for BMHC’s exhibit, “A Portrait of Persistence.”
The day’s cultural program features an outstanding all-female musical lineup: Oxil Febles, Rae Da Vine, Sofia Tosello, Monica Meaux, Antoinette Montague, Marilyn Castillo, Mikaela Curet, Bharati Kemraj and more!
