Make Calls With Impact in NC |
|
The races for Mayor and Commissioner in Huntersville, NC may seem like a low profile election, but that's exactly why your help can make a big difference. |
|
Huntersville is in Mecklenburg County, where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans, but Republicans have had much higher voter turnout. You can help turn that around! |
|
These calls will not just get out the vote for Nov 7. By talking with Mecklenburg County voters, you will help build the foundation for winning in 2024. |

What's Next? Find Out on Nov. 19 |
|
As Republicans double down on chaos and extremism, we believe that the survival of democracy depends on focus and targeted efforts that rise above all the noise. |
|
2024 will be noisy. It will be frightening. But we agree with Joan Baez, that "Action is the antidote to despair." In 2023, we came together to fight in Wisconsin and Ohio, and we won. |
|
So as you set your clocks back tonight, remember that you CAN keep Republicans from setting the country back to the dark ages. Join us on Nov. 19 to participate in plans for 2024. We have ideas, and we have been building relationships with grassroots groups in several crucial states, but we want to hear from you too. |
