Few people appreciate the music if you just show them the notes. Most people have to hear it. That's what storytelling is about.

Instead of dooming online about a statistically tied race have you considered talking to voters?

"Our members are knocking on doors throughout rural North Carolina. We’ve knocked on 250K+ doors and had thousands of conversations across region, gender, race, and party lines...

Our work shows us that nothing is black and white."

Just had a "Huh, Prokiev's Ballad of Romeo and Juliet is a *lot longer* than I recall," moment.

People are missing the point.

He isn't just some nominee. This dude is the LT Governor

We have a chance to change that this November by voting for the people who will actually make a difference for our public school system in North Carolina.

Join us tonight: https://t.co/jg3iI9nnR6

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

Say what you want about the system and how it's broken and ineffective — but that's an intentional effort by those who have worked hard to disinvest in our children's education, infrastructure and futures.

[Down Home North Carolina @DownHome_NC]

There is a lot at stake for #NC #publicschools this fall. Voters will determine who decides on public schools and our children’s futures. Join us online this Thursday, July 25 at 7 pm to learn how YOU can play a key role! RSVP now: https://t.co/Lne5Z7V3tJ

@PhoenixTheDoll Canvassing counts as organizing! Let me know if you need any resources

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

@PhoenixTheDoll We will always be two different sides of this coin, my friend 😂 I didn't think it will get America not to be racist, but it will get some people off the couch to outnumber them

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

@PhoenixTheDoll So are you going to organize or just fret on the internet about it?

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

A word of advice: if you are feeling lost, weary, or unsure of how to make sense of the world right now, get involved.

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

We are people organizing rural North Carolina! Have been blessed to call @DownHome_NC my political home these past few months — we have a load ahead of us to building a rural, working class power down south, but you know what I say:

"The work continues. 💪🏾"

@DownHome_NC “The solutions are simple, and we’re missing the point right now while we’re focusing on being able to point fingers and argue about whose golf handicap is better," said @tie_jackets. "I really think that we’re in a communications crisis right now" https://t.co/jfcUFNTWvw

Even when things don't turn out the way that you want them to, the small wins and lessons learned along the way are the foundation for the future we imagined.

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

I'm so grateful to have been part of a moment that inevitably breathed life into and shaped movements for generations to come. #TeamAbrams #OneGeorgia

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

One year ago...we were at the peak of Get Out the Vote, having crushed through early voting records in underrepresented communities in Georgia.

365 days ago, we were five days away from destiny.

[Taí Coates-Wedde @tie_jackets]

Being an agent of change is fortifying in troubling times like these. Your impact is more tangible than in everyday https://t.co/p8of9uBuGo a moment where so much is needed, every little thing counts.

Donate. Volunteer. Organize. Educate.

Surround yourself with a community of others who dared to care so much that it moved them to action and give aid where you can.
