ALL HANDS ON DECK: A NATIONAL RALLY FOR VOTING RIGHTS

They fought for this. They bled for this. And now, piece by piece, it's being taken away. Let's show up in solidarity with our brethren in Selma!

The right to vote was never freely given — it was demanded, marched for, legislated in blood. Today, that legislation is being gutted in statehouses across this country. Voter rolls are being purged. Polling places are vanishing. ID requirements are being weaponized. And silence is not an option.

This is a call to every organizer, every congregation, every young person who has never seen a march but always knew one might be necessary. This is the moment.

New times demand new tactics — economic pressure, digital organizing, culture, faith, and mass presence on the ground. But what doesn't change is this: when people show up, things shift.

We are not going back. We are going further. The Fight Isn't Over. It's Just Getting Started. Register on Mobilize for the most up-to-date info: https://mobilize.us/s/yRqdi0

The dismantling of the Voting Rights Act is a reminder that we have unfinished business. This fight is ours & we are going to finish it. Join us SATURDAY @ 2pm in solidarity w/our fellow Americans in #Selma!
Register on Mobilize for all the details! Spread the word:

Please come join us! Let Tillis know we are watching. We are listening. We see how he is voting. He and his colleagues have abdicated their Congressional authority. They did not vote to reign in the president with the War Powers Resolution. Prices are skyrocketing and ordinary Americans are suffering.

Please come bring your signs, friends, and YOUR VOICE! Miss this one? No worries! We will meet until the bitter end and he is out of office! #TuesdayswithTillis

Come meet local candidates for office, including NC-09 congressional candidate Richard Ojeda! Pleasant Garden Picnic Shelter. Light refreshments will be provided.

Mad about the recent Supreme Court decision gutting the VRA?

Va & NC courts have recently made BAD decisions also!

State courts CAN be a bulwark against federal abuses! It matters who we elect!

**REMINDER: STATE COURT RACES CANNOT BE GERRYMANDERED!**

The judges below are our best chance in NC to preserve our democracy. Know their faces. We cannot afford to let this opportunity pass by in November 2026. Do not leave the judges blank! *VOTE ACCORDINGLY UP AND DOWN YOUR BALLOT!* #nccourts #statecourts #judicialracesmatter

Food insecurity is a community challenge — and our community is rising to meet it. We thoroughly enjoyed our panelists and the community conversation at the May Monday Meet Up: Addressing Food Insecurity in Guilford County!

In Guilford County alone, over 66% of children in the school system are considered low income, meaning more than 44,000 children may need food assistance. But local organizations are working every day to change that picture.

Second Harvest Food Bank strives through education, advocacy, and partnerships to eliminate hunger through the solicitation and distribution of food, serving families, children, seniors, and veterans across the region. BackPack Beginnings works to connect children and families to the resources they need to thrive, serving over 27,000 children annually. A Simple Gesture partners with dozens of local food pantries to end hunger by making food donations easy and convenient — including doorstep food collection, food recovery from restaurants and grocers, and a school-based sharing program. The Corner Farmers Market in Greensboro matches SNAP benefits up to $50 per week, supporting access to fresh, healthy food for everyone while helping local farmers thrive.

Behind the scenes, efforts like those led by Alyssa McKim, who serves as the Food Security Program Coordinator at NC Cooperative Extension - Guilford County Center, are working to co-create a climate-resilient, equitable food system — improving access to food, building the capacity of local organizations, strengthening farmers' markets, and developing a county-wide food security plan.

WHAT CAN YOU DO???

Donate food or funds or volunteer with local pantries and food banks including BackPack Beginnings, A Simple Gesture, or Second Harvest Food Bank!

Shop at The Corner Farmers Market and support their SNAP-matching program.

Host a food drive in your neighborhood or workplace.

Advocate for systemic food security planning in your community.

Homes generate a huge chunk of all food waste. Cutting that waste at home directly fights hunger and saves resources.

Hunger is solvable. The tools, the organizations, and the people are already here — they just need your support.

Democracy in the Balance is our series with a focus on NC state courts such as our NC Supreme Court and our NC Court of Appeals! Fair courts are INCREDIBLY important for a democracy to be healthy and function properly!

Our state courts are so incredibly important! We must make CERTAIN to elect Justice Anita Earls back to her seat on our NC State Supreme Court! We must bring FAIRNESS back to our state courts so that we have a bulwark against federal shenanigans. *PLEASE SHARE!*

SEE CALENDAR FOR DETAILS!

If you don’t have a protest sign, no worries. We always have extras. And we have bells and pom poms!

Do NOT park in the parking lot of the office complex at 707 Westchester.

Instead, park along the street on Rockspring Rd off of Westchester or in the parking lot to the side of DeBeen Espresso, 709 W. Lexington Ave.

Avoid walking across the parking lot of the office complex to get to the protest area. Walk on the “public” easement (7-10 feet from the street). The property owner is looking to pick a fight with us, so we don’t want to give her cause to call out the police again.

I'll have plastic gloves and garbage bags for anyone who would like to pick up trash afterwards from the public strip of grass that we protest on.

What a turn out in Raleigh! If you could not make it, no worries! You don't have to have FOMO! Please join us tomorrow, May 2nd, in Greensboro for our Triad May Day! Use QR code to sign up!

Hey, everyone! Time for the next installment in our series "Democracy in the Balance!"

In light of today's Supreme Court ruling, it is now more important than EVER that we have state courts that are fair and that work for the PEOPLE. Our state courts can act as a bulwark against the abuses at the federal level. Check out our video and see how our state courts matter to critical aspects in our lives. For anyone that has gone through a divorce or custody battle, they know just how much a judge/court can affect their lives.

Our May Meet Up will shine a spotlight on one of the most pressing issues facing our community — food insecurity in Guilford County. We'll hear directly from leaders of local nonprofits who are on the front lines every day, doing the work that matters.

The numbers tell a sobering story: 15.2% of Guilford County residents face food insecurity — and for children, that number climbs to 22.5%. Behind those statistics are 82,510 real people — neighbors, kids, families — who don't know where their next meal is coming from.

But this evening isn't just about the problem. It's about the solution.

Our speakers will share how their organizations are reimagining what community support looks like — moving beyond traditional charity toward programs that are inclusive, dignified, and human-centered. Because people don't just need food. They need to be seen, respected, and empowered.

Come ready to listen, learn, and discover how you can make a difference right here at home.

🍽️ Food and drinks provided. 👶 Childcare provided. ✨ Community. Conversation. Power.
