Good Trouble Rally & Protest: Stop HB 958
2025-07-17 17:30 - 18:30 | Halifax Mall, 300 N Salisbury St, Raleigh, 27603, United States
🚨 STOP HB 958 🚨
“No person while serving on the State or County Boards of Elections shall make written or oral statements intended for general distribution or dissemination to the public at large encouraging or promoting voter turnout in any election.”
Let that sink in.
North Carolina Republicans are trying to make it illegal for elections officials to encourage people to vote.
That means:
— No voter education from elections offices
— No public outreach to boost participation
— No PSAs reminding people to cast a ballot
This bill strikes at the heart of free and fair elections. It replaces trusted, experienced professionals with partisan operatives hand-picked to control how our elections are run.
The message is simple:
They don’t want you to vote.
They know they can’t win free and fair elections, so they’re suppressing turnout and rigging the rules instead.
They tried to move this bill quickly and quietly, with no public input.
We’re not letting them strip our rights away in the dark.
We’re shining a light and fighting back.
📍 Join us
Meet us at Halifax Mall in front of the State Board of Elections at 5:30pm to hear from elected officials and voting rights advocates before marching to the Capitol to support other protest efforts at 6:30pm.
Let’s make sure every voter knows exactly what’s at stake.
Be sure to sign up for important reminders and updates.

Apex Dems Book Club: Outclassed by Joan C. Williams
2025-07-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Location will be provided to registered attendees
Democrats are pro-union, pro-raising the minimum wage, pro-paid leave — so why did more blue collar workers vote for Donald Trump than Kamala Harris in 2024? The majority of NC households make less than $100,000 a year, and it’s incredibly important that we are able to bridge the divide!
Join Apex Dems as we talk about Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back, by Joan C. Williams. A rockstar legal scholar, Williams has been a leading expert in the discussion of the intersection of race, class, and gender for 25 years. Outclassed is a bestseller, and a critical read right now, so let’s get together and talk about the working class in North Carolina!
