The open letter can be found at docs.google.com/document/d/e... As abolitionists we believe police reform is unrealistic and oppose any investment in policing, but Sunshine Labs demonstrates that even non-abolitionists should reject the undemocratic and opaque proposals in front of city council.

Members of our collective, and more than 20 others who turned out against surveillance, weren't allowed to speak at tonight's city council meeting. Here are the unheard remarks one of us had prepared.

Attention Asheville residents, we need some signatures here. c.org/N9GVt56Prz

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” (Published Dec. 2022)

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Council on Thursday passed an indefinite moratorium on data centers, following several other counties and municipalities throughout North Carolina that have made similar moves. www.bpr.org/climate-envi...

Following a heated public comment period, Asheville City Council voted to accept a $1.14M federal grant to APD to fund a real-time intelligence center allowing police to search and monitor cameras across the city. www.bpr.org/politics-gov...

A year and a half after Helene flooded the IPEX plastic plant, there’s still a lot of PVC pipe in the French Broad River. On Tuesday, residents, officials and advocates gathered in the town of Woodfin to discuss the longstanding problem. www.bpr.org/climate-envi...

If you're a democrat in the south you've pretty much just lost your vote.

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones is one of my personal heroes. I recently had the chance to speak to him about the racist redistricting plot being enacted in his state and others in the South. Republicans are trying to bring us back to the Jim Crow era that so many fought (and died) to end.

Brother Jones & Justin Pearson are my heroes.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

There it is!

Last week, the administration transferred federal land to the state of Alaska for mining & other extractive purposes. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said it's part of the administration’s plan to boost resource production. This will likely impact wildlife in the region.

I am encouraging you all to stand up to extremist anti education propaganda. Please call Mrs. Foxx's office today. This type of language with a child is unacceptable. She also voted to allow coaches to inspect children's genitals. Her far right extremist views don't belong in NC. foxx.house.gov

The Voting Rights Act was fought and bled for, do they think we won't fight and bleed to get it back and more?

This is what “multiple use management” looks like when timber wins every time. Ecological health, wildlife habitat, native plant communities all of it gets written off as competition. Link: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Glyphosate application in CA’s forests has quintupled over the last two decades in a year 266,000 pounds were sprayed a record. WHO classifies glyphosate as a carcinogen. The Forest Service is using it at industrial scale, on public land, to benefit private timber interests.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

Renee Good should be remembered today along with all of the other mothers whose lives have been either taken or ruined by ICE goons. Heartbreaking photo. #uspoli #reneegood #uspoli

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Leadership in Washington has failed Western North Carolina. Many of our friends and neighbors are still struggling a year and a half later. We deserve a representative who will fight for us to get back on our feet and fully recover from Helene. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #HurricaneHelene

My name is Jamie Ager. I'm a 4th gen. farmer running against Republican Chuck Edwards. I've spent my career building community through agriculture. Now I'm running for Congress in Western NC to fight for working people and root out corruption. Will you help spread the word?

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re excited to endorse #UnrigWashington member @jamie.agerforcongress.com in his race for #NC11. Jamie knows corporations are driving up prices for working families. He'll fight to lower costs and invest in North Carolina communities. We look forward to helping him win.

They tell us “there’s no money” for universal coverage, cheaper drugs, or rural hospitals. Then Trump and Hegseth find $200B for war with Iran. This isn’t about resources. It’s about priorities. #HealthcareNotWarfare

Since the Trump FDA won't tell you, I will. Multiple studies show COVID and shingles vaccines are safe. The FDA kept those studies a secret. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Republicans are going to make us pay for a ballroom while Americans suffer from lack of housing, affordable groceries and no access to health care. At what point will the people be fed up enough to say no we are not giving our government anything else until we get something in return?

There are many ways you can participate in the massive day of economic disruption on Friday, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...
