Chop Wood, Carry North Carolina 4/3
Hi North Carolina!
I don’t know about you but I’m feeling good! Can you say Wisconsin win? Can you say Cory Booker!? Heading into this weekend (and beyond) of action has me fired up. I hope it’s the same for you.
THE BIG EVENT OF THE WEEK!
The Hands Off! National Day of Action is on April 5, with rallies in Raleigh and almost twenty other cities around the state. This is the biggest national action yet, and we need you and everyone you can bring with you to stand up and be seen and heard! To find a rally near you, click here.
EVERYTHING YOU DO IS BIG! IT ALL ADDS UP!
Everything else on this week's list is about talking to voters. When you have a good conversation, you have impact! People are friendlier than you might imagine. Really. Just show up, be yourself, and bring along your curiosity.

i just ordered 100 postcards from fieldteam6 to send to unregistered voters! Good activity while watching TV at night!
Just a simple question, asking for advice from the women that help with NC. Our Indivisible Lincoln County is looking for speakers to attend a town hall (when our representatives do not show up) and I am wondering if you have any suggestions of anyone who might be willing to come to Lincoln County. Thank you
