Downtown AVL Community Meeting (Precinct 11.1)

Come join us at our Downtown AVL Community Meeting held on the second Monday of each month.

Many of us are frustrated or deeply concerned about what’s happening in our government right now — the erosion of trust, the lack of accountability, and the growing sense that our voices aren’t being heard. If that resonates with you, you’re not alone.

Meet your neighbors. Share ideas. Get involved. Connect with others who care about change. Learn about ways to take action that match your skills, schedule, and interests.

We know it’s easier to stay home, doomscroll, or tune out altogether, so...

Why show up? Change happens when you’re willing to go outside your comfort zone, meet your neighbors, and discern how you want to get involved.

At this community meeting: You'll learn how to make your voice heard regarding local issues, NC state races and how to get out the vote.

Come meet your neighbors and explore how we can make a difference together!

(Note: We meet in the basement of the brewery.)

Who should attend: Residents of Downtown Asheville are welcome, especially if you live in South Slope, Wecan, and South French Broad neighborhoods. This event is being organized by Precinct 11.1 leadership.

Black Mountain Town Council Meeting

Field trip!
As you may know, the Black Mountain Democrats’ monthly gatherings are held at the exact same time as the Black Mountain Town Council’s monthly meeting. The reasons behind that conflict are complicated, but the effect is unfortunate. Decisions made by locally-elected representatives often have more impact on our daily lives than decisions made in Raleigh or Washington, D.C. But sadly, too few of us follow the Town Council or know about their meetings.

So for June, in lieu of our regular get-together at Pisgah Brewing, let’s show up at the Black Mountain Town Council meeting and become more informed citizens. June’s Council agenda will be published on Thursday, June 4 at https://blackmountainnc.portal.civicclerk.com/

North Buncombe Dems with Friends - Judicial Focus

Only the COURTS are saving our democracy and the Constitution right now. But while the Federal Courts are pushing back against the illegal Trump Regime executive orders, here in NC we have work to do! Our NC Supreme court currently has a 5-2 Republican Majority, and 12-3 Court of Appeals majority. This is why the radical Republican controlled NCGA took power away from our Governor and Attorney General so easily and gerrymandered our Congressional races.

This MUST change and we CAN do it, starting with November’s election! Come and learn about our plans to take back our NC Supreme Court and Court of Appeals and how it can be done by 2028 before the all-important US Census is done in 2030.

We’ll also hear from Jean Marie Christy, our BC Clerk of Court on things you’ll want to understand. And we’ll play a Table Trivia game to help you retain the important information!

Who should attend: Dems and like-minded Unaffiliated voters in the North Buncombe precincts of - 40.2, 41.1, 50.1, 51.2, 58.1, 59.1, 67.1 & 71.1

Downtown AVL Community Meeting (Precinct 11.1)

Come join us at our Downtown AVL Community Meeting held on the second Monday of each month.

Many of us are frustrated or deeply concerned about what’s happening in our government right now — the erosion of trust, the lack of accountability, and the growing sense that our voices aren’t being heard. If that resonates with you, you’re not alone.

Meet your neighbors. Share ideas. Get involved. Connect with others who care about change. Learn about ways to take action that match your skills, schedule, and interests.

We know it’s easier to stay home, doomscroll, or tune out altogether, so...

Why show up? Change happens when you’re willing to go outside your comfort zone, meet your neighbors, and discern how you want to get involved.

At this community meeting: You'll learn how to make your voice heard regarding local issues, NC state races and how to get out the vote.

Come meet your neighbors and explore how we can make a difference together!

(Note: We meet in the basement of the brewery.)

Who should attend: Residents of Downtown Asheville are welcome, especially if you live in South Slope, Wecan, and South French Broad neighborhoods. This event is being organized by Precinct 11.1 leadership.
