On this week's pod, I chat with @GraigMeyer about leaving elected office for @ncjustice center.
His thoughts on the future, the Democratic party, and what happens if Berger is out next year.

Join us on Sunday, December 14 as @GraigMeyer hosts a special fundraiser for me in Chapel Hill about the work we're doing, and the work still ahead, for public education, voting rights & equity across North Carolina.

Warning: Dark times are not ending soon.
Another warning: Checking out is not an option if we want to save democracy.
And a third warning: Burning your energy to the ground does not allow for effective resistance.

It’s been a year since we made this viral ad.
NC still hasn’t taken any steps to legalize cannabis.
People are ready. My bill is waiting. Let’s #legalizeit.

#420 Fact: Black and White folks use #marijuana at roughly equal rates. But Black folks are almost twice as likely to be arrested and convicted for possession. Don’t let this video kill your buzz but... #ncpol 1/
A huge thank you to @GraigMeyer, @B_RayJeffers, @WileyNickel, & the 70 concerned folks who came out to our town hall tonight in📍Person County!
We talked about everything from veterans, disability services, cuts to SNAP benefits & Medicaid republicans in D.C. are threatening! ⬇️
📍Person County!
Come join @GraigMeyer and @B_RayJeffers in Roxboro for a town hall about what’s happening in Raleigh and how federal cuts to healthcare coverage will hurt rural North Carolinians. ⬇️

@BryanRAnderson Jonah and I have differences of opinion, but I know him well and none of these allegations feel true.
The United States is in crisis right now. Whoever made these allegations is making it worse. Get out of our party.
NCDP: lock in with people who work hard with good values.
@BryanRAnderson This is some bullshit from someone to weak to even use their name. If you can’t stand behind your words, get the f out of our party.
Jonah has worked his ass off for this party. He was our top fundraiser in NYC during Break the Majority and hasn’t stopped since he moved home
Messaging lessons from 2024 🧵
"Saving democracy" isn't a great motivator when most folks don't believe we live in a functioning democracy as it is.
Nor is defending institutions when many institutions have failed so many people in so many ways. 1/
Just in: Jefferson Griffin lays out new legal strategy for the #ncpol Supreme Court to seat him instead of Allison Riggs. He suggests they could ignore the bulk of the 60k ballots he's challenging, only throw out overseas ballots, and declare him the winner if that puts him ahead
I am very grateful to Governor Cooper for these 15 commutations to life sentences for death row prisoners.
Thanks to the @NCCADP for your amazing advocacy.
Let’s continue to work towards abolishing the death penalty.

North Carolina's elections are safe and secure. Allison Riggs won her race and the recount confirmed it. The honorable and mature thing to do is for Jefferson Griffin to concede.
As the NCGOP prepares an attempt to override Gov Cooper’s veto on taxpayer funded vouchers, new reporting shows just how much of the $ goes to segregation academies.

I had an incredible time canvassing this weekend and working alongside folks like @katebarrcantwin and @GraigMeyer and so many others.
Now would be a great time to pick up a canvassing shift in your area to help voters get to the polls and make their voices heard.
Dear North Carolina Democrats,
If the Iowa poll and other things have you feeling good…
Please go knock some doors the next three days.
That’s what it takes to win.
I’ll see you out there.
