数百选民 10月24日结伴步行前往凤凰城提前投票站参加“亚利桑那人民大会”
10月24日，数百名亚利桑那州选民将结伴从凤凰城市中心喜来登酒店步行前往附近的提前投票站，轮流投下提前选票，以此为当天在凤凰城举行的“亚利桑那人民大会”拉开序幕。主办方介绍，已有 1100 多人报名参加这场为期一天的大会，活动由“为变革而联合的亚利桑那人”、Activate 48、奇斯帕亚利桑那和“我们的声音、我们的选票亚利桑那”等基层进步团体共同组织。大会不办成传统的竞选集会，而是安排社区主导的讨论和工作坊，让工薪家庭、社区领袖和基层组织者共同梳理住房、公用事业和医疗费用不断上涨等优先议题，并形成一份供选举后当选官员参考的政策议程，现场还将有现场音乐表演。发言人塞萨尔·菲耶罗斯表示，这将是亚利桑那州历史上规模最大的动员提前投票活动之一，目的是让普通家庭的声音在选举日临近时被听见。亚利桑那州的中期选举投票将于 11月3日举行，提前投票正在进行中，主办方希望通过集体投票的方式鼓励更多选民尽早完成投票。
Hundreds of Voters to Walk to a Phoenix Early Voting Site on Oct. 24 for the Arizona Peoples Convention
On Oct. 24, hundreds of Arizona voters will walk together from the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown hotel to a nearby early voting site, taking turns casting early ballots to open the day-long Arizona Peoples Convention in Phoenix. Organizers say more than 1,100 people have registered for the convention, which is organized by grassroots progressive groups including Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), Activate 48, Chispa Arizona and Our Voice Our Vote Arizona. Rather than a traditional campaign rally, the convention will feature community-led discussions and workshops where working families, community leaders and grassroots organizers identify priorities such as rising housing, utility and health care costs and draft a policy agenda for elected officials after the election; live music is also planned. Spokesperson Cesar Fierros said it will be one of the largest get-out-the-vote early voting events in Arizona history, aimed at making working families' voices heard as Election Day approaches. Arizona's midterm voting takes place Nov. 3, with early voting under way.
