Chop Wood, Carry North Carolina 3/10

Hey North Carolina,

Y’all are doing good work and it shows! The Resistance in North Carolina is Growing.

Activists alone can't change the government, but history proves that a small, committed group can ignite change. Nonviolent protests involving just 3.5% of the population have never failed (BBC, 2019, citing Erica Chenoweth, Harvard).

Our efforts are paying off! Durham’s Bull City Indivisible has grown from 40 to 200+ attendees per meeting in just months. Once we reach a tipping point, we’ll feel our power—and we will prevail.

Elections Matter—Let’s Focus on Voter Outreach

Engaging voters must be a priority. It’s not just about voting—it’s about conversations that inspire action. To stop Project 2025 and enact real change, we must mobilize voters for Democrats. Voting is our most powerful tool for shaping laws and policies.
