Join us for an informative look at how we vote in the U.S. and who decides the rules. Knowledge is power!

And many of us are shaken\, wondering\, “What will happen the next time I answer a call?” \nTo mark one week since her death\, we will gather to celebrate Renee’s life and remember the other victims of ICE violence nationally and here in our state\, & reaffirm our intention to create communities where anyone can get to school and work safely. \nAnd we will recognize that while a single agent pulled the trigger\, this tragedy was enabled by a broader failure of leadership. No public safety officials – prosecutors and police at any level – have stepped in to investigate ICE violence\, and NC GOP elected officials continue to applaud lawless tactics. We will demand accountability for this violence. \nWe’ll have a community altar. Bring notes\, drawings\, or wishes for the people suffering and your offerings to support those in elected office who choose to work for an end to impunity for federal agents.
