They spent millions of dollars to convince Black People that voting doesn't matter. Our vote is the most powerful political weapon we have. And if your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't be working this hard to take it from you. That alone, should tell you what to do with it. - Ashley B

From the description: People spent years convincing Black Americans disengagement was power. I think more people should ask who benefited from that.

Democracy in the Balance - A look at what's in the Republicans' 36 page election bill

Wonder why many North Carolinians are so up in arms about this bill - HB 958? Here are just a few of the highlights. Or low lights. Take a look at the slides. #6 is just another way to strip power from our State AG.

Remember, too, that Sarah Stevens, former NC Rep and current candidate for the NC Supreme Court (who lied recently about her affiliation with a KNOWN child sex offender) is one of the PRIMARY SPONSORS OF THIS BILL. She does not belong anywhere NEAR our court! We must re-elect Justice Anita Earls back to her seat on our NC Supreme Court in November 2026!

All of U.S. 250 | 07/27/25 | Find an event near you in NC

This year marks the 250th Anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence, and our country is at an unprecedented crossroads. At a time when our country should be coming together to celebrate all that we are, how far we’ve come, and commit to finishing the work to make America a place where freedom and equality are truly for all, a white supremacist faction is pushing our country in the opposite direction.

Trump wants to keep the promise of America only for the wealthy, and the MAGA regime is in the midst of trying to whitewash our past to lay the groundwork for a white supremacist future, erasing the ongoing impacts of enslavement, Jim Crow, and genocide, and the gains won through generations of struggle. Reckoning with our full history is how we make this country live up to its ideals.

While we reject Trump's whitewashed 250th, all of US will join together on June 27th to take up the torch and make this country a place where liberty and justice are for all. In Raleigh, 50501 NC will be marching to OUT! Raleigh Pride, standing in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Events are happening all across North Carolina that same day. To find a list of All of U.S. 250 mobilizations alongside other protests, art builds, voter registration drives, and community gatherings, visit our substack article at https://50501nc.substack.com/p/a-list-of-all-of-us-250-events-happening.

We'll see you in the streets.
