Grassroots Goes to the Senate!

    Dear Supporter, From Friday to Sunday, a Democratic woman challenging a Trump GOP Congresswoman raised $1,000,000 from more than 20,000 people. A race was transformed in a mere 48 hours.   The power of grassroots activism to upset the status quo and shift bases of power is unmatched. …

Facts Matter

    Dear Supporter, Facts matter. Today, we are witnessing history as only the 4th ever Presidential Impeachment hearings begin in the US House of Representatives. The facts of the case are not at issue. They are clear and indisputable. Yet, in order to protect power and not to protect you…

Staying in the Fight

Dear Supporter, Republicans aren't the only ones engaging in rigging elections and suppressing the will of voters in our state. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has been rigging the US Senate race in NC for far too long and it has had disastrous effects on Democracy. They rec…
