Grassroots power in NC Small Town Friendly. Fighting for justice, democracy, and accountability, one action at a time.
A trainer from Siembra NC will be in Forest City tomorrow (11/20) for an ICE Watch/Border Patrol response training.
With Border Patrol now active in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville, it’s important for our community to know how to document, respond, and support each other! DM for RSVP link.
48 community care kits assembled today! Some went to folks along the Rail Trail, others to Grace of God, and a few were taken by neighbors to share on their daily routes.
Each bag had socks, gloves, hats, snacks, hygiene items & more. Grateful for everyone who donated time, items, & heart. 🫶
Huge thanks to Doyle Brown, Brent Caldwell, and Kisha McDowell for firing us up and reminding us what people-powered leadership looks like.
Foothills for Justice proved it again: joy is resistance, and community is power.
✨ 525 people. Small town. Big energy. ✨
No Kings 2.0 absolutely showed out in Spindale today! 💛
We packed the house with joy, costumes, and courage… plus a disco ball, inflatable animals, and a rollerblading inflatable baby 🛼👶 because democracy should be fun.
Guest speaker: Doyle Brown, NC Senate District 48

💛🎭 This Saturday!
No Kings 2.0 @ Spindale House, 11–1
We’re standing up for democracy and standing with Portland. Wear yellow or come in costume. Make it weird, make it joyful, make it loud!
Resistance doesn’t have to be grim. It can be creative, kind, and unapologetically human.

Stop invading our cities! There is no grave widespread emergency that warrants sending the National Guard into our cities. Leave us alone.

We’ll explore how local families are being impacted by current challenges, and what we can do to show up, support, and build lasting change together.
🌈 More Pride. Less Prejudice. 🌈
Pride isn’t just a celebration, it’s resistance.
Queer & trans youth are being targeted. LGBTQ+ books are banned. Hate crimes are rising. Drag is under attack.
Foothills for Justice stands with the LGBTQ+ community. Always. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Yesterday, we stood shoulder to shoulder. Peaceful, powerful, and unmoved.
Foothills for Justice stands on the right side of history. One day, when our kids ask what we did during these times, we’ll be able to say:
We showed up. We stood tall. We fought for a better future.
Can’t protest? You can still help!
