“[N]o citizen who simply settles for being a consumer of democracy should expect to have a real democracy ever again.”

“When people say their vote doesn’t count… remind them they live in North Carolina. And justices here win or lose by hundreds of votes out of millions.” —Tyler Daye, @commoncausenc.bsky.social #InOurCourt

“I never paid attention to our judges…but after doing the research I learned judges have a ton of [power]. We should be paying a lot more attention to who they are, where they came from and where they raised their money.” —Faith Allen, @peoplesparity.bsky.social #InOurCourt

“As a civil rights attorney, I can truly say the power is in the people….organizing and mobilizing, and education — beyond this room and in our court.” —Ashley Mitchell, Forward Justice, from the #InOurCourt Conference at Elizabeth City State University

Once again, everyday North Carolinians are leading some of the nation’s most important fights for voting rights. Watauga County has a plan to win with @commoncause.org

Please 19th Amendment while we can still 19th Amendment.

👉🏻 @newsobserver.com: "...Jefferson Griffin — in the face of a federal court ruling against him — has finally conceded that he lost his bid for a seat on the state Supreme Court. But the more significant loser in this case is the state Supreme Court itself and its chief justice Paul Newby." #ncpol

Riggs wins NC Supreme Court seat — in a victory filed by a federal court but fueled by North Carolina voters. #ncpol www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...

At the #InOurCourt Conference Dr. Gunther Peck and Dr. Artemesia Stanberry talk to voters challenged by Jefferson Griffin about how telling their stories is vital the fight for justice ahead. Hundreds of Duke and NCCU remain implicated. #ncpol

“We have got to let our courts know we are watching.” — Dawn Blagrove, Emancipate NC on the people’s power for justice in this political moment #InOurCourt

“The fight for justice isn’t easy…but we didn’t sign up for easy.” —Frmr State Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley on fighting for more just courts in North Carolina. #InOurCourt

It's my first time actually visting Chicago and I had no idea just how much I needed that "Midwest Nice" right now. Will report back on how "hugging necks" in response works out.

"When we the People work together, there's nothing in this world that can stop us!" Highlights from today's #HandsOff rally in Raleigh as THOUSANDS of North Carolinians took part in this nationwide movement to speak up for our rights and speak out against attacks on our democracy by Trump & Musk.

#HandsOff Best of the Best IMHO

Not sure why it’s controversial to oppose eligible voters from all parties (or none) having their legal ballots tossed or potentially tossed by partisan judges months after an election at the behest of the losing candidate. The loser should not have to be a D for this to matter to an R. #ncpol

As #HandsOff rallies take shape nationwide against a Trump/Musk regime, here in North Carolina we have another candidate’s ongoing efforts to steal a lost election on our minds. #ncpol

Those most harmed by the ruling will surprise no one. Griffin disproportionately challenged young and Black voters. Military ballots targeted are from only FOUR* blue counties. But make no mistake, if a ruling like this stands, no one's votes are safe. #ncpol www.newsweek.com/north-caroli...

“This Court could order that those voters are without a remedy to cure their incomplete registrations,” but instead we’ll give you 15 whole days. Good luck, Babe. —NC's GOP Court of Appeals #ncpol

To attack military votes, the GOP's judges reprimanded the NC Elections Board for allowing “individuals living in foreign countries, who vote in [NC] elections, to be exempt from our State’s voter ID laws"— omitting that ALL STATES exempt these voters from ID laws, per the Board's lawyers #ncpol

This "ruling" — 5 months after the 2024 election — would require 60,000+ NC voters who cast a ballot legally to somehow "cure" those ballots with ~2 weeks notice. It also tosses other eligible ballots completely. Should it stand, it would be the end of free and fair elections as we know them.

Seven polling sites in Milwaukee ran out of ballots due to "historic turnout" according to city election director. More ballots are being printed and on way. Very important to remind voters that if they're in line when polls close at 8 CT they get to vote. Do not leave. Please spread the word

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Remember this: Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it.

Election security is national security. And in its crusade against federal agencies, the Trump administration is gutting parts of the government that help protect against cyberattacks, combat foreign interference, and regulate campaign finance in federal elections.

The 2024 NC Supreme Court race remains uncertified. Losing GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin fights on in court. It's the "Trump way of doing things," says Greenville rallygoer, Jeffrey Mathis. Refuse to admit you lost & ask courts to hand you a win voters didn't. www.witn.com/2025/02/17/p... #ncpol

The challenge of more than 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race is a threat to democracy that could serve as a model to other losing politicians who want to reverse their defeats at the ballot box, speakers at a Monday rally said. ncnewsline.com/2025/02/17/r... @lbonner.bsky.social #ncpol

Thanks to the THOUSANDS of North Carolinians who have turned out and spoken up powerfully at The People vs. Griffin rallies across NC! We won't be silent as sore loser Jefferson Griffin tries to throw out the votes of 60,000+ North Carolinians. Watch a highlight here: www.youtube.com/shorts/l9a-W...
