SUMMARY:Broken Budget Town Hall Tour: Charlotte
DESCRIPTION:Washington politicians have passed a broken budget: a harmful bill that raises costs\, takes food off the table\, and kicks hard-working North Carolinians off their health insurance– all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. \nJoin us for a town hall on August 19th as we begin planning a path forward. We’re inviting members of the North Carolina Congressional Delegation\, with the hope that they will hear our concerns about how this bill will impact our families and communities. We look forward to seeing you there! Doors open at 5:30pm for a 6pm start.

SUMMARY:Triangle NC Stands with Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:The General Assembly has voted to override the veto of SB-153 as of July 20\, and now the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on August 26. This puts us on the brink of a dangerous veto override\, paving the way for SB-153 to become law. \nSB-153 would allow state law enforcement to collaborate with ICE\, putting our neighbors and loved ones at risk of being torn away from their homes and communities. \nDemocrats and Republicans alike have shown us that they do not stand for decency and humanity. \nWe are coming together to prepare for what is ahead and organize against the potential passage of this disgusting bill. The people of NC reject this assault on our neighbors.

SUMMARY:State Courts - Why Are They So Important to Our Rights?
DESCRIPTION:State courts are critical to protecting\, or sometimes eroding\, our rights. And unlike federal courts\, in North Carolina voters have a direct say in who sits on our courts. But too many voters skip the “down ballot” judicial races that are so essential to protecting our freedoms from legislative and executive branch overreach. Join us for this informative and engaging webinar to learn more about state courts and how you can educate your networks about their importance. NC State Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs joins us to talk about exactly what happened in her state Supreme Court race in 2024. Then we’ll discuss how it could happen again in 2026\, and what we can do to prevent a repeat of those efforts to overturn an election. We will also discuss the importance of state courts\, how to evaluate judicial candidates\, and how to talk about this issue to your fellow voters.

SUMMARY:Protest the latest GOP power grab in the General Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Meet us at Halifax Mall on July 29\, 2025 at 11 am for a CHEATER RACE to protest the Republican cheaters partisan take over of the NC Board of Elections and staff – House Bill 958 will be debated in the Judiciary Committee at 1 pm that day. Make your opposition heard at the Cheater Race\, which will dramatize exactly the ways that this bill tilts elections in favor of Republicans. This bill makes the State Board of Elections partisan\, wastes money on outside attorneys\, blocks County Boards from encouraging people to vote (!) and politicizes the non-partisan NC Board of Elections\, firing 1/3 of civil servants and replacing them with partisan Republicans. This just the latest GOP dirty trick. Write to your NC Reps!

SUMMARY:Pack the NCGA Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join the North Carolina Democrats as we pack the gallery of the General Assembly to stop SB 266\, an outrageous GOP bill that would raise energy bills on working families while killing clean energy progress. \nGovernor Josh Stein vetoed this dangerous bill to protect working families. But now\, Republicans in the General Assembly are returning to Raleigh to try and raise your energy bills instead of passing a budget. \nWe’re rallying at the Old Capitol Grounds\, then marching to the General Assembly to pack the gallery and make our voices heard.\nLet’s fill every seat and remind our elected officials who they serve! \nTime may change\, depending on the call of the general assembly\, a more specific time will be shared as soon as we have it.

SUMMARY:Defend the Veto: Message From the Future Action at the Legislature
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, Speaker Destin Hall and the NC GOP will try to overturn Gov. Josh Stein’s vetoes of 11 bills\, including SB 153 and HB 318\, which would dramatically increase ICE’s ability to detain and deport North Carolinians. \nIf all 49 House Democrats show up and vote to sustain the vetoes\, we will defeat Destin Hall’s attempt to use our state tax dollars to abduct immigrants. \nPlease join us at 9am at the legislature building (16 W Jones Street) as we send “A Message from the Future” as the legislators convene for the vote. \nCome dressed as your future self (whatever that means to you). We’ll be bringing our families – kids welcome.

SUMMARY:Sustain the Veto Rally
DESCRIPTION:Governor Stein recently vetoed these three anti-DEI bills\, in so doing he acted to protect all North Carolinians. Now\, we have to make sure that legislators sustain the VETO on these bills. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSB227 attempts to prohibit public school units from promoting certain concepts. Under this bill\, public school units shall not engage in discriminatory practices\, provide instruction on divisive concepts\, engage in professional development that includes or advocates for divisive concepts or discriminatory practices\, or maintain DEI offices or positions.\nSB558 attempts to prohibit public institutions of higher education like the UNC system or community colleges from promoting certain concepts. This bill requires that higher education institutions not engage in the same practices as listed in SB227 and also prohibits them from establishing a process for reporting or investigating offensive or unwanted speech that is protected by the 1st Amendment.\nHB171 would prohibit state agencies from promoting\, supporting\, funding\, implementing\, or maintaining workplace diversity\, equity\, and inclusion programs\, policies\, or initiatives. They would also be prohibited from maintaining dedicated diversity\, equity\, and inclusion staff positions or offices\, or offering or requiring trainings. The bill would prohibit state agencies\, local governments\, and covered schools from using state funds to implement or maintain these programs and compliance would be determined by the State Auditor. A state officer or employee who violates this section would be subject to removal from office or employment and a civil penalty.

SUMMARY:Get in Line\, Senator Tillis
DESCRIPTION:This joyful protest gets in step for justice – literally. “Joy is a form of resistance” is often attributed to the poet Toi Derricotte. \nWe’re dancing to send a clear and unified message to Senator Thom Tillis: it’s time to GET IN LINE with the people of North Carolina! While he continues to ignore the will of his constituents\, we’re responding not with silence\, but with rhythm\, joy and movement! Our feet will hit the ground in Guilford County on July 12\, where every step is a stand – a stand for community building\, for kindness\, and for those whose voices have been sidelined. \nWith music\, unity and purpose\, we’re turning this protest into a celebration and resistance into motion! Join us – because when we move together\, we shift the future\, and we won’t stop dancing until our representatives fall in line with the people they serve!
