Grew up in #ChapelHill. Raising my kid in #Durham. Both are in the unceded land of the Eno, Saponi, Ocaneechi, & Catawba people.

I mostly post #Durham #NC stuff on this account. Everything else is at https://toot.cat/@ruby. Feel free to follow both.

"It's sad people would try and take advantage of the situation and the fear within the community right now."

North Carolina friends! Please check to see if your or your neighbors' ballots are at risk of being thrown out as part of the state supreme court race challenge. There's over 60,000 ballots on the list; odds are you or someone you know is having your right to vote challenged: https://thegriffinlist.com/
The Griffin List

A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. Griffin lost a close election for the North Carolina Supreme Court, confirmed via two recounts. He then sued the North Carolina State Board of Elections to have the 60,273 votes nullified.

We need to protect our children's health, education, and opportunities. Spending more money on policing makes it harder to fund public health, affordable housing, better schools, HEART, and other investments in our future.
