One Wake Candidate Forum for Raleigh City Council and Wake County Commissioners
2024-10-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Watts Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, 3703 Tryon Road, Raleigh, 27606
This fall’s Raleigh City Council election will be the last in which all Council seats are up for re-election at the same time. Starting in 2026, the Council will shift to longer, four-year staggered terms (and will also move to a non-partisan primary election).
The shift to staggered terms, and the non-partisan primary, means that this fall’s election will be the last time such a large number of candidates will be running for City Council at the same time. This represents an opportunity for ONE Wake leaders in Raleigh to ensure that all future Council Members are aware of and accountable to the top priorities in our communities.
To this end, ONE Wake is organizing a 1,000 person non-partisan assembly with all candidates for Raleigh City Council (and Wake County Commissioners) on October 10, 7:00 pm, at Watts Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. You can register in advance here.

After multiple recounts, state supreme court candidate Jefferson Griffin lost his race. Now he’s pressing the courts to disenfranchise over 60,000 lawful North Carolina voters to change the result.
It’s the people’s turn to say: reject Griffin’s challenges — and respect our votes.
Join the growing opposition against Griffin’s challenges, raise your voice at rallies happening across the state, and build a pro-democracy movement together. Register below to receive important event details.
Live music is provided through a partnership with the Oak City Music Collective. Featured acts include Flower in Bloom, the Nappy Head Funk Army, and DJ Handsome Robb.
