UU Justice NC September 6, 2024
UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour, September 13th at 11:00 am - This week, the NC General Assembly was called back into session to vote on legislation HB 10. This bill would siphon public funding to private schools and wealthy families and establish anti-immigrant measures that are costly and don’t make us safer. On Friday, we will take action in response to this dangerous legislation. Review this week's resources and actions on our Google Doc, and Join via this Zoom Link.

Drive Folks to the Polls During Early Voting
ERUUF’s UU the Vote is collaborating with the statewide Disability Rights North Carolina (DRNC) to drive their constituents to the polls in Granville and Person counties, where there is a huge need, during Early Voting (October 17-November 2).
All you need is a clean car with working seatbelts, a mobile phone with GPS, enthusiasm, and a commitment to get people where they need to go, so they can exercise their right to vote. You can choose which county to go to, a morning or afternoon shift, your preferred day(s) of the week, and whether you do it by yourself or pair up with a buddy.
UU The Vote’s organizing team (Lonna Harkrader, Nancy Couts, Sandy Hochel, and Trisha Lester) is trying to get a sense of how many folks are interested in helping so that we can give Disability Rights an estimate of number of volunteers to expect in October. Early Voting is only 17 days. Let’s show DRNC how ERUUF shows up when we collaborate, and let’s get those voters to the polls!
Please complete this form as soon as possible if you’re interested in getting involved. More specific information will be forthcoming in mid-September.
Questions? Contact Trisha Lester.
