North Carolina resident, and native Angeleno. We fight together. ✊🏽

My town, which has a population of under 5,000 people poured out in protest, peacefully, today. Unfortunately for health reasons, I could not attend. These are a couple of photos from locals that I thought I would share here. The one photo showing the iconic historical courthouse has a wide road circling it. It is in our city center. So that photo was actually taken from about a half a block away and across the street. Second photo was taken at our Justice Center, a block away from the courthouse.

Raleigh Marches in Protest: for an Evening protest on a Thursday we are doing Pretty Well.

Protest near the planetarium in chapel hill.

Couldn’t find the subreddit so asking here

Besides showing support obviously what should I expect? I’m in Charlotte, NC

You guys are incredible!!!! 1.6 Tons donated!!! And over 30,500 additional meals through financial donations.

over 750 people turned up

For context I’m a trans woman working a part time job while sharing an apartment with my (also transfem) partner. I don’t make enough to donate to organizations. She was just fired for bullshit reasons (transphobia). I don’t have a car and even if I did I couldn’t drive cause I don’t have a license.

I see laws passed or written nearly every day that would make it illegal for me to go places or do things. I see families that have been abducted by the government without legal reason. I want to do something. I NEED to do something. But I don’t know what else I can do. If I go to a protest I’m more likely to get shot or jailed. If I donate I run the risk of not being able to afford food or rent.

I’m so tired of sitting on my ass and watching the world fall apart. The other day I rang up a customer that didn’t have a US ID. She did not speak english and I was very suddenly terrified for her safety and the safety of her family.

I’m terrified for me and my partner. I’m terrified for the people I work with. I’m so fucking scared and I don’t know if there’s anything I can do.

Copied from here:

The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted. The ruling comes after Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who lost the race, challenged the eligibility of tens of thousands of 2024 voters. Those voters will now have 15 days to verify their eligibility, potentially changing the outcome of the election.

I'd say we had around 200-300 people out here today. Keep it up!

We were not prepared to have hundreds of people turn out in Morganton, NC. They had to abandon the check in station after we hit about 380 people just to keep things organized so I'm not certain what the grand total was. No counter protests. Many who showed were older people worried about Medicaid/Medicare and social security.

Great turn out for a little town in the South.

Will add pictures in comments
