Celebrating Our Wins

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.

By the Numbers

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.

The New Indivisible Guide

If there’s one universally accepted truth in the modern age, it’s that sequels suck. And Trump 2.0 will be no exception. Trump, Vance, and their MAGA minions feel vindicated by the victory of their bigoted, fascistic clown show of a presidential campaign. Trump takes office with a plan to institute the worst parts of Project 2025. He’ll be enabled by a judiciary packed with right-wing ideologues and a congressional majority stacked with MAGA foot soldiers. And he’s assembled a bloc of corporations and billionaires eager to do his bidding in exchange for tax cuts and corrupt favors. But he has no mandate for the staggeringly harmful agenda he’s about to unleash on the country. And together, we have the power to fight back — and win.

Be a Poll Greeter

Each Early Voting location will have a table with the Blue Ballot and candidate information. We need volunteers to man those tables.

Peggy Dickerson with Meck Dems schedules volunteers for all Early Voting and Election Day polling sites in Mecklenburg. 

To volunteer to serve at a table, email Peggy (peggy@meckdems.org) so she can help you find the best shift and location. 

Include your:

  • Phone number

  • Best time to call 

**Poll Greeter - Poll Greeters are volunteers who work outside the polling place during Early Voting and on Election Day (in precincts where greeting is allowed).  Greeters offer our Blue Ballot cards to voters as they arrive on site, and encourage them to vote all the way down the ballot for our good Democratic candidates.  Greeters typically wear our MeckDems t-shirts so they are recognized as Dems. We do not, however, wear political attire when going inside the polling place, so poll greeters should bring a shirt or sweater to put over their t-shirt when going inside to the restroom or to interact with poll staff.

Contact Peggy if you are interested!
