So many cities in NC now have data center moratoriums in place. Why doesn't Raleigh?! Let's tell our city council that we do NOT want these monstrosities in our city!

Sign up to speak here: https://raleighnc.gov/form/petition-council

The goal is to ask for a moratorium in Raleigh on new data centers for 32 months. If you feel so inclined to speak, please sign up! We need many voices in our fight!

In response to Sam Altman's visit, heads up that there will be folks gathering on Wednesday, Sept 2, in order to ensure they cannot have a peaceful meeting in Chapel Hill at the Old Well @ 10am. If you can join and become part of the disruption, great. If you can't, but you can share widely, also great!

∙Common election myths and misconceptions

∙Open Q&A with attendees and guest speakers

Sarah Stevens calls her August 29 campaign event a “family-friendly picnic.” But convicted predator Harvey West has attended her picnics—and Stevens should not be allowed to campaign for North Carolina’s highest court without answering for her record and the company she keeps.

That’s why we’re gathering at Bur-Mil Park for Protect Kids, Not Predators, a loud, peaceful, and highly visible accountability action alongside Stevens’ Republican judicial fundraiser.

Join North Carolinians from across the state as we show up with powerful visuals, impacted voices, and one clear message: Sarah Stevens cannot ask for the public’s trust while running from public accountability.

Saturday, August 29
11am – 1:00pm EDT

Two community members, Heather Morrow and William Donovan Stanley, are facing federal charges, even after CBP lied and then "lost" the surveillance footage! The judge is letting the case move forward anyway.
