"I have never voted and I never will." This stern sentiment was voiced by a middle-aged person with a flash of frustration in their eyes during our community conversations. Their words stung, yet held a note of resignation. In response, we spoke of hope and the enduring power of a single voice to ignite change.

Despite widespread hope and excitement about civic engagement, a lingering sense of apathy persists among those who distrust the political process, leading them to refuse participation.

We must continue to have conversations on the importance of the individual vote, especially in a time when every vote can significantly sway outcomes.

In Episode 5 of the "Our New South" podcast, Aimy spoke with Kevin Blackistone and Dr. Robert Greene II about the power of the vote in the South. Check it out at: ncpodcasts.com/ournewsouth or wherever you get your podcasts.

Our amazing team is the heart of our organization. Their skills and experience; their outstanding character; and their devotion to helping our BIPOC communities flourish make them more than exceptional. We need good people to do good work, and our team members are people with good hearts and a drive for excellence. We are proud to have such a great team and we’re excited for you to get to know them.
