That is so great!! Thanks for doing that!

GOP US House Rep Chuck Edwards owns 7 McDonald's restaurants in Western North Carolina (Hendersonville, Brevard & Canton areas). So @lesboyd.bsky.social and other WNC residents picketed & called for a boycott this weekend -- they're refusing to fund their own oppression. No $ for oligarchs. #ncpol

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

Let’s all keep reminding folks of Destin Hall’s role in both matters.

If Millennials and Gen Z Want a Future That Looks Like Us, We Have to Step Into the Power That’s Been Left on the Table Let’s sit with something real for a moment:

If Millennials & Gen Z want a future that actually looks like us, we’ve got to start taking the seats that are literally sitting empty. Local power shapes EVERYTHING. We can’t wait our turn. We ARE the turn. The door is wide open—walk in. #Pink #Momsky

Let's change North Carolina. Together, we will and can.

Help keep our communities whole, our families together, small businesses open and all of our children in school.

You can work from your home, in your car or in front of a school, but let’s work together to keep our neighbors safe.

Judge issues major victory for due process in class action lawsuit, rules that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can no longer detain immigrants without offering them a bond hearing. Everyone gets a bond hearing now.

Happy Thanksgiving

Boycott billionaires! #resist

This Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we're coming together to send a clear message to corporate America and this administration: We Ain't Buying It.

This holiday season, we’re using our collective power to speak the only language corporations understand: our wallets. #MomSky

Private school tuition for the wealthy or healthcare for the most vulnerable North Carolinians? How would you spend $190 million? NC Republicans think it’s more important to overfund a slush fund for vouchers than make sure people can see a doctor. It’s all about priorities. 😣

Siembra NC had preparing us for months for the events of this week. When the rumors turned out to be true, they mobilized 1000’s of volunteers from across the state, seemingly instantly.

Take a training, volunteer and donate if you can so we can all keep protecting our neighbors.

Thank you to the hundreds of North Carolinians who have volunteered to help protect the immigrant members of our communities during the past week. Whatever tomorrow brings, let's continue to show up for our neighbors, look out for each other, and stand together. #nc #ncpol

Why House Speaker Destin Hall wants the Border Patrol to come back to NC In an exclusive interview with The N&O, Republican NC House Speaker Destin Hall tied the Border Patrol presence to recent lack of ICE cooperation by sheriffs.

Why House Speaker Destin Hall wants the Border Patrol to come back to NC. Hall sees the actions as the “direct result of some sheriffs who have been elected, who decided they were not going to cooperate with ICE anymore.” (Via @dawnbvaughan.bsky.social)
