People’s Climate March – Join us Saturday April 29th in Washington, DC to let Trump know that we won’t let him pollute the air and wreck the climate on our watch! There is no denying it: Donald Trump’s election is a threat to the future of our planet, the safety of our communities, and the health of our families. If the policies he proposed on the campaign trail are implemented, they will destroy our climate, decimate our jobs and livelihoods, and undermine the civil rights and liberties won in many hard-fought battles. It’s up to us to stop that from happening before it starts.
Indivisible:NC 6th Congressional District will hold Our first general meeting since the original organizational meeting held back in January.

We’d love to have you all there. Please reply to and please join! BYOB and a snack to share. When: Sunday April 30, at 3:00 p.m. Where: North 87 South, 8874 NC Hwy 87, Graham, NC 27253 See On Map
