Registration Repair 2.0 Postcard Writing
2025-09-13 14:00 - 17:00 | Fortnight Brewing Company, 1006 SW Maynard Rd Suite A, Cary, NC, 27511, United States
In July, we mailed over 1,000 letters—and we’re doing it again! This September, we’re coming together to write letters to North Carolina voters whose registrations may be at risk. These voters could be denied a regular ballot if their information isn’t corrected by October 10th. We will supply the letters, envelopes, pens and return address labels. Please bring first class letter stamps if you can.
Why This Matters
The North Carolina State Board of Elections requires voter registrations to include either a driver’s license number or the last four digits of the Social Security number. Even a small mismatch—like a typo—can flag a registration as “incomplete.” That means the voter will be forced to vote provisionally, which can increase the risk of their vote not being counted. Right now, over 100,000 North Carolinians have registrations flagged as incomplete—including 10,000 in Wake County alone.
Let’s make sure they know how to fix it before it’s too late. Join us September 13th—your letters make a difference!
We just ask that you bring 25 first class stamps and we will provide the rest.

Durham Labor Day Rally & March
2025-09-01 10:30 | Trinity Ave Park, 410 Watts St., Durham, NC, United States
Labor and community are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover. Trump and his billionaire friends are converting the government into their private slush fund. Trump just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from working families, they put in billionaires’ pockets and set aside to fund Trump’s private army of ICE agents.
Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are growing our movement and fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us—and not just a chosen few.
On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.
Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand on Labor Day, join us! We will be in the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms, and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.

Break the Blockade
2025-08-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Nuestro Barrio Liberation Cafe, 458 S Driver St, Durham, NC, United States
For over 60 years, the United States has imposed an illegal blockade on basic goods to Cuba. Even though Cuba has free, high-quality healthcare, the blockade has prevented life-saving medication from reaching the Cuban people.
The entire world, except for the United States and Israel, votes every year at the United Nations to condemn the blockade. The world stands with Cuba, and so must we!
Since the triumph of the 1959 revolution, Cuba has embarked on building a socialist project, fighting for self-determination and standing with oppressed nations worldwide. Because Cuba stands as an inspiration to the people of the global South, the U.S. has done everything in its power to destroy the socialist project in Cuba, but it has failed at every attempt!
Join us Saturday, August 30th at 2pm at Nuestro Barrio to learn more about the ongoing campaign to end the blockade on Cuba!
¡Viva Cuba! ¡Abajo el bloqueo!
