This article gives a sense of how incredibly lucky we are to have an organization like @siembranc.bsky.social & just so many incredible activists here in NC.
Their organizing mobilized thousands of volunteers to protect our neighbors in less than a week. ICE will regret coming here. #NCpol

I cannot wait for the next episodes of #HeatedRivalry! However I will make sure I am not watching on a plane like I did the first two. Thankfully I had a window seat and could just tilt my screen away towards the window 🥵

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.
From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Republicans just led the longest government shutdown in history and used mass hunger as a bargaining chip. They don't care about DC's safety — they care about their own power.
Democrats, do the right thing and VOTE NO on H.R. 5214 and 5107.

Only two nations in the world use cash bail: the Philippines and the United States.
DC eliminated cash bail more than 30 years ago because it's wrong to have one system of justice if you're rich and another if you're poor.
House Dems, DC is watching your votes on H.R. 5214.

ICE is neither wanted or needed here. Our neighbors do not deserve to be afraid to leave their homes.
Take a look at all of the businesses closed or operating at a reduced capacity, these are members of our community that make it what it is.
