Despite challenges, our work created tangible victories:
Governor Josh Stein, Lt. Governor Rachel Hunt, Attorney General Jeff Jackson and Mo Green lead a slate of Democratic wins in North Carolina.
NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs pulled out an incredibly close win! (However, the GOP is still contesting 60,000 votes.)
We broke the Republican supermajority in Raleigh, a significant step toward balanced governance.
Our efforts contributed to flipping NC Senate District 42, where Woodson Bradley triumphed by 204 votes, overcoming gerrymandering and PAC-funded opposition.
We fought like hell to put Nicole Sidman into office with significant turnout in HD105 and fell short by only 213 votes. Disappointing, but symbolic of the power of a gerrymandered district drawn for her as an R+5.
Our collective work is making a difference:
18,000+ doors knocked in 32 canvasses
63 out-of-state canvassers welcomed from 12 different states and trained in 8 Zoom canvass trainings
29 out-of-state volunteers hosted by members, many staying for a week or more.
36,700+ postcards written for key races, from local contests to swing-state GOTV efforts.
AND SO MUCH MORE with phonebanking, textbanking and voter registration!
What’s Next
We are gearing up for the next phase of this work. The new Indivisible Guide 2.0 outlines strategies for combatting authoritarianism, strengthening democracy, and organizing across all levels of government. As we prepare for 2025, we’ll focus on:
Protecting the most vulnerable in our communities.
Organizing in solidarity with marginalized groups.
Building leadership at local and state levels, not just in Congress.
Looking ahead, join us for our December 11th social and mark your calendars for our 8th-anniversary celebration on January 25th. Start thinking about how you can contribute or lead—whether it’s hosting events, recruiting members, or simply sharing your energy and ideas. Together, we’ll continue to fight for justice and democracy.
This work is far from over, and every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for being part of this incredible community.
