The Tar Heal State

In case you missed it yesterday… I’ve been looking for one thing that the NextDraft community can support that could make a big difference in the biggest of elections. A great friend of mine from North Carolina has been singing the praises of a group called Mecklenburg Democrats. They have built an amazing organization working to squeeze every last vote out of their Dem heavy region. The NYT (Gift Article) wrote about their work this week: Can Charlotte, N.C., Deliver for Kamala Harris? My answer: Oh Meck Yeah! I said l’d match whatever you gave yesterday up to $5000. As an NC resident might say: Ya’ll demolished that initial goal. And I’ve already swiped my credit card for the 5K. Let’s keep this going. I’ll provide final numbers tomorrow. LFG!)

+ Donate to MeckDems and Unleash the Power of Mecklenburg County’s Untapped Democratic Votes.

+ Need a little more motivation? In the past 24 hours, Trump made a joke about Amber Thurman (who died because of Georgia’s abortion ban), described Jan 6 as a day of love, and said Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky “should never have let that war start.”
