Outside the Lexington Farmers Market, Next to the Worthen Road Entrance
This summer, our allies at Act on Mass are planning to visit all 40 state senate districts in MA to discuss our state democracy, issues that matter to us, and how we can take action. We’re thrilled that Scotia Hille, the executive director at Act on Mass, will be joining us at our table outside the Lexington Farmers Market next Tuesday. Hope you’ll stop by to say hello, and if you’d like to help staff the table, you can sign up here.
Food trucks, concert, fireworks! Mass 50501 urges us to wear T-shirts, carry American flags or pride flags, bring “No Kings” signs, to make Independence Day a day for saying “No Kings in Our Community.” Their message is here.
The time is now to work for electoral victory in 2026. We need to build infrastructure, uplift candidates, register voters and make sure voters know the truth about MAGA’s immoral policies. All in for North Carolina has been doing this hard work – work that has no shortcuts. Here is their message:
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?
We 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.
This 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.
We are focusing on these counties because
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.
Most of them are in the swingiest Congressional District in the state, CD -1, which Don Davis won by 1.7% last year.
These 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.
This 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.
In 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.

At our fourth in-person monthly meeting we will be planning our July 17 rally Good Trouble Lives On, forming teams, and making signs for a banner drop. Come along as we build this airplane while flying it!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
Confused by the latest headlines about birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment? Wondering what the Supreme Court’s recent decision means for our rights and democracy?
Join Dr. Bob Forrant on July 31 at 6:30 PM at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts for an urgent community talk on the legal history, current rulings, and what’s at stake.
This is a time to gather, learn, and push back against misinformation. Bring your questions and your neighbors.
On this Independence day, join us as we gather together to raise our voices in community to Free America from authoritarians overwhelming us, a fascist regime, a grip of hate and the politics of fear, to protect our freedoms before they’re gone.
We are looking for…..YOU!? We need people willing to lend their time and talents for the rally. Please contact us if you are interested in helping out in anyway. You can: Speak of your own experience Sing a song Lead a chant Make phone calls Provide transportation Man our table at rally event * Other? Give us your ideas, we would love to hear from you!
In league with the NO KINGS 2.0 rally, Women’s March, and, of course, Indivisible
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.
This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.
Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
