Raleigh needs to have a H.E.A.R.T.
Our Coalition is asking the city council to embed a mental health professional into the 911 call center to divert calls from police to unarmed community response teams and ACORNS and we are asking the council to house these programs under a newly created department of public safety, not under RPD.
Missing Middle Policy – It’s Time for Reform
Four of you are Councilors because you campaigned on Missing Middle Reform along with Engagement and Transparency. Waiting for the resolution of the lawsuit means waiting for YEARS and that is unacceptable. Do you want the next election to be run again on Missing Middle Reform while you’ve been Missing in Action?
Raleigh Elections – What’s the right size for Council?
Livable Raleigh believes two-year terms mean council members work harder to remain close to their constituencies. However, if four-year terms are to be implemented, Livable Raleigh strongly recommends that the Mayor still be elected every two years, and that a non-partisan primary be held before the general election.
Raleigh Elections – Plurality vs Majority
So what can we do to make sure Raleigh’s elections are as democratic as possible and result in a winner who earns a majority of the votes and not just a plurality.

Raleigh Elections – When are they?

BRT Transit that Benefits All? No it Won’t!
New Bern Avenue is living proof of the bigoted depredations our country and city have imposed on Black Americans. It is also living proof of Black Americans’ determination to fashion lives and communities of faith and hope in the face of overpowering forces of greed and racism. Of all projects which have the potential of restorative justice and to make good on Raleigh’s pledge to dismantle the city’s policies and systems of racial inequity and oppression with equitable transit, this is it.
Regular, Full Service, Two-Way Communication should be a priority
Monthly neighborhood meetings MUST BE YOUR PRIORITY. Where residents know they can show up to stay informed about Planning, Budgeting, Development, Parks & Rec, Police & Fire, Bond Initiatives, Transit and even hear from their council representatives.
