Community Panel on Affordability
How did life become so expensive? Are you struggling over rising costs? Affordability is the top issue on voters’ minds in NC and across the country.

The film has been described as a “bombshell” for engaged viewers, offering a compelling mix of humor and serious political commentary. Audience ratings indicate strong approval, with an 8 out of 10 rating.

• Long pants
• Long sleeves
• A water bottle
• Snacks
• A change of clothes (recommended in case you get wet or dirty)
Volunteers may be working alongside waterways and could be wading in shallow areas while removing debris.
The exact cleanup location will be shared with registered volunteers as soon as it is finalized.
Whether you're a longtime volunteer or just looking for a way to give back, we'd love to have you join us as we help care for the places that make Western North Carolina home.

North Buncombe Dems with Friends - Judicial Focus
Only the COURTS are saving our democracy and the Constitution right now. But while the Federal Courts are pushing back against the illegal Trump Regime executive orders, here in NC we have work to do! Our NC Supreme court currently has a 5-2 Republican Majority, and 12-3 Court of Appeals majority. This is why the radical Republican controlled NCGA took power away from our Governor and Attorney General so easily and gerrymandered our Congressional races.
This MUST change and we CAN do it, starting with November’s election! Come and learn about our plans to take back our NC Supreme Court and Court of Appeals and how it can be done by 2028 before the all-important US Census is done in 2030.
We’ll also hear from Jean Marie Christy, our BC Clerk of Court on things you’ll want to understand. And we’ll play a Table Trivia game to help you retain the important information!
Who should attend: Dems and like-minded Unaffiliated voters in the North Buncombe precincts of - 40.2, 41.1, 50.1, 51.2, 58.1, 59.1, 67.1 & 71.1
