Local elections don't get the hype, but they matter more. Nov 4th, Charlotte votes on the mayor, city council and school board officials, and a 30-year transit plan. Things that actually shape your daily life. Here is everything you need to vote informed.
Meet Tarana Burke, the woman who started the #MeToo movement. Her grassroots work supporting survivors has changed laws, toppled abusers, and transformed talk about consent and accountability.

17 at the Arboretum today! Cooler weather was wonderful for a pop-up protest.
Meet Sandy Pearce! She’s been with ICLT for 5 months and believes simply doing something keeps her energized. As the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, she values freedom and the rights of others, and loves the honks and waves at our pop-up protests.
To join her, check out our pop-up schedule!
Your vote’s power is on the line — literally. North Carolina’s redistricting committees are taking public comments on a new Congressional district map. The lines they draw will shape who represents you for the next 10 years. Make your voice count! Comment, call, or email today. Link in bio.
Quote of the week from our friends over at the Anti-Fascist Book Club. The group is reading the Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler and follows Lauren Olamina, a young woman who can feel the pain of others and becomes displaced from her home. Want to join the club? Visit the link in our bio!

No Kings Day is over, but the protests continue. From the organizer:

Another first-timer at our Beatties Ford pop-up this morning, one who took us all by surprise but not the same one I hugged at the NK2 Rally on Saturday...
Who let the FROGS out???

I've meaning to transfer my playlists off of Spotify for a while, and the ICE ads finally gave me the nudge I needed.

It’s been three weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election, but Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in — all because she would be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

He’s denying AZ-07 a voice in Congress. Swear her in now.
