'Vixens' hope to make voting more seductive: A new organization determined to get more young women out to the polls recently set up shop at Churchill's in Little Haiti.
Byline: Rob Barry
Oct. 29--A group of young women talked politics amid cigarette smoke and live music at Churchill's Pub on a recent Friday.
The left-leaning but ostensibly nonpartisan women, who call themselves the "Voting Vixens," were set up in the club's outdoor patio, where they sold pink "Voting Vixen" T-shirts, handed out copies of Voting Vixens magazine, touted their website (votingvixen.com), signed women up for a mailing list, and generally cajoled the other female pubgoers into political conversation.
Much later, they ringed the dance floor and partied at the Little Haiti bar.
The Vixens is a grass-roots project started by Women's Movement Now, the local chapter of Younger Women's Task Force.
