This Thanksgiving week looks different for many North Carolina families. The recent government shutdown disrupted #SNAP benefits. For some, gathering around the table means one less chair. But when systems fail us, we keep showing up for each other. #NCpol

NEED AN ATTORNEY? DON'T GET SCAMMED 🚫 ⁠

Choosing a reputable immigration attorney is essential. It’s equally important to avoid predatory attorneys or unqualified “consultants” who may overcharge, give incorrect advice or mishandle your case. ⁠

Building democracy isn't just protests and phone banks. It's potlucks and story circles. It's celebrating when someone registers for the first time. It's laughter at organizing meetings. Joy is resistance. Community is power. And we're building both across North Carolina. #HappyFriday

Crucial watch-out for 2026: Brian @democracync.bsky.social urges us to keep an eye on how state money will influence these larger races.

Big money wants to diminish the grassroots impact. The simple but crucial focus: "Let's make sure our votes are counted."

We often hear the narrative that "apathy" reigns, but Brian @democracync.bsky.social felt the opposite in his university conversations. He saw young people eager to engage more.

We have reason to feel hopeful about the future of civic participation.
