#OnThisDay in 1813, a British Royal Navy fleet departed Ocracoke, ending their occupation. The USRC Mercury usually policed the inner coast, enforcing customs laws. On receiving word of the invasion, the Mercury sailed to New Bern to deliver a warning. https://t.co/TYXI4xVjjP

The booster rate for eligible community members in Orange County is 58%. For the other 42%: get vaccinated! It's the most important step you can take to protect yourself and others from the highly contagious BA.5 strain of #COVID.

Let's get this done. Congress must act swiftly here.

#OnThisDay in 1851, Millie-Christine McKoy, conjoined twins, were born into slavery in Columbus Co. Known as as the “Carolina Nightingale,” they traveled the world, learned several languages, and met Queen Victoria, who gave them matching brooches. https://t.co/dQKWY8hoe8

"Ni hao" from the Dadaocheng District of Taipei, Taiwan! Local Rotary member Pete Ma's father grew up here, so it's his go-to spot for showing visitors the vibrant neighborhood.

What's your favorite place to take visitors to in your hometown?

As the #climatecrisis worsens, access to clean, safe #water is a growing issue. Pernambuco, Brazil, recently suffered its worst drought in 50 years, prompting Rotary Clubs and @Habitat_org Brazil to partner in an effort to provide clean, safe water. https://t.co/2JyCtrscJ9

#OnThisDay in 1857, a NY paper published an ad touting a new book, The Impending Crisis of the South: How to Meet It. The author was Hinton Rowan Helper, born in Davie County. The book, which denounced slavery in no uncertain terms, caused a sensation. https://t.co/TwRb8Dhf2G

I have a message for the women of North Carolina: you still have a legal right to an abortion in our state. North Carolina state law protects women's reproductive freedoms. 1/

The 1947 Journey of Reconciliation was profoundly significant to the Civil Rights Movement, but its story was nearly lost to history.

Our most important investment in FY23 budget: "We have a Town staff that is tasked with creating what we believe to be the most progressive community in the South, often from scratch, and they are working overtime to meet our requests." - @nowell4carrboro
