Consistency is key: Action Opps to show we are not going away!!!
Good morning again Engaged Durhamites for Democracy!
We are excited to have our first Human Chain in tandem with a great rally in Raleigh as part of the mass mobilization, Rage Against the Regime on Aug 2nd at 10am. We will not be having a rally in Durham for this mass mobilization. This is the first time that Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Cary, Morrisville, etc. all go to Raleigh for their mass mobilization. Let’s do this activism warriors and make the biggest Human Chain we can!!
We have a mobilize link (it still needs to be updated but will be soon to be unified with the others).

Let’s go activism warriors!! Consistency is key. You don’t have to go each week. Try to make some of these to give our fellow activism warriors a time to take a “staggered breath” while we sing in democracy’s choir (as Bruce would say). Plus, demonstrations are fun, and I think you will find that connecting with folks week after week feeds the soul!
Warmly,
Kathryn
