SUMMARY:All in for NC- organize NOW for the 2026 Senate seat
DESCRIPTION:Essential to stopping MAGA’s evil acts are state-based grassroots efforts built from the bottom-up to win and hold power. North Carolina is one of the key places to do that\, as evidenced by Sen. Tillis’s announcements of his opposition and his decision not to run for re-election.  Would Sen. Murkowski have joined him if she were up in 2026? \n\n\n\nWe at All In for NC try to focus during each two-year election cycle on a small number of places and organizations where we can add the most value to the great work of local North Carolina groups. \n\n\n\nThis fall\, we will focus on five counties in North Central to Northeast NC. From west to east\, they are Granville\, Vance\, Franklin\, Nash\, and Wilson counties. We will also continue our work in Mecklenburg County. \n\n\n\nWe are focusing on these counties because  \n\n\n\n\n Six of the eight closest races for state legislature in 2024 occurred there\, including the three statehouse victories that broke the Republican supermajority and gave Gov. Stein the ability to veto the stream of anti-democratic\, anti-reproductive health\, anti-public school\, and anti-gun safety laws the Republicans send him.  \n\n\n\nMost of them are in the swingiest Congressional District in the state\, CD -1\, which Don Davis won by 1.7% last year.  \n\n\n\nThese growth counties near the Triangle are typical of the swing parts of North Carolina and elsewhere. They range from 42\,300–95\,600 people. Each swing district in this area has a potential for more than 16\,000 voters per county for our candidates if we can reach\, persuade\, and then mobilize them.  Building power and winning elections here will be a model for rebuilding Democratic power in small-town and rural America.  Community groups—Down Home NC\, NC APRI\, Advance Carolina\, County to County—and county Democratic parties are building operations in these places and have asked for our help.\n\n\n\n\nThis month we are raising funds for this work already: Down Home NC Intensive Rural Organizing.  In September we will set up phone banks and begin canvassing for this work. \n\n\n\nIn addition to this new focus\, we will continue our work to build Democratic turnout in Mecklenburg County\, the largest pool of non-voting Democrats in the state and home to three other very close legislative districts—two held narrowly by Democrats\, one lost narrowly. We are in conversation with both the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party and outside groups about how best to support their work into the Fall and beyond. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link for July 28-meet us and strategize\n\n\n\nFund the work for the NC Senate Seat

SUMMARY:2025 Sister District MA-RI & Friends Phonebank!
DESCRIPTION:Join Sister District MA-RI to help our candidates build progressive power in state legislatures in 2025! This year\, we’re working to hold the VA House (where all 100 seats will be up for grabs)\, and driving voter engagement to flip the VA Governor’s mansion for a Democratic trifecta. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nWhy phonebank? The data proves it: phonebanking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact. We identify supporters and let them know why their vote matters\, speak to undecided voters\, and recruit local volunteers for crucial state-legislative races. Every call helps us tidy our lists\, which helps our candidates and makes for a faster\, more efficient phonebank! \n\n\n\nCome one\, come all: No experience necessary. Each Zoom phonebank includes training and check-ins for first-timers (experienced callers can jump right in). We’ll share successes and address questions throughout. Our veteran phonebank leaders will help you get comfortable\, increase your effectiveness\, and make sure you have a great experience.

SUMMARY:One Million Rising-Strategic Non-cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations\, rollbacks of civil rights\, weaponized courts\, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action\, but through sustained organizing in our communities. \n\n\n\nThat’s why this summer\, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation\, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. \n\n\n\nLet’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: The Moment & Your Mission – July 16 Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action. \n\n\n\nSession 2: How to Make it Happen – July 30 This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy\, but how you can train others and get them on board. You’ll host your first community resistance gathering after this session. \n\n\n\nSession 3: What Now? – August 13 You’ll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward. \n\n\n\nSign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person\, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!
