  • Common Cause Rallies to Protect NC Voters

    NC State Capitol 1 East Edenton Street, Raleigh

    About this event https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/event/752809/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIbbs5leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHecJ51vuwbeOCN_7_BnNtnho-SCjcOvtm190zbO1Z6A7Yf4tL5WG176v1w_aem_xvir38a5nstdmnVxFDBRog 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.

Featured acts include Flower in Bloom, the Nappy Head Funk Army, and DJ Handsome Robb. Accessibility Mainly flat ground Dedicated parking spots Have accessibility questions?
