"Take Action" Item of the Week

Weekly ways to stand up for our communities and our democracy.

After multiple recounts and election audits in 2024, North Carolina voters elected Justice Allison Riggs to the NC Supreme Court. In a bid to overturn that result, her opponent, Jefferson Griffin, is pressing the courts to disenfranchise over 60,000 lawful North Carolina voters.

It's the people's turn to say: reject Griffin's challenges — and respect our votes!

Join the growing opposition against Griffin's challenges, raise your voice at rallies happening across the state, and let's build a pro-democracy movement. For more details about the rally on February 17th at noon, see: https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/event/752832/
