“What does it mean to mend? For most people it means to repair, patch or rebuild… and it’s also about the activity and utility of mending, through intention and necessity, to make something useful again.” -Arounna Khounnoraj

Our government at its best functions as a useful safety blanket for some, while for others it feels threadbare.

Policy and politics will continue to impact our lives even when we try to throw off that blanket. Let’s learn how to patch together something useful with what we have, and improve our living conditions while we continue a bigger fight for liberation for all.

We are hosting an event to learn more about how our local government works and what’s at stake with the amendments and bond on Wake County ballots.

You’ll leave empowered with information and a plan for voting, and we’ll teach you how to use a simple mending technique to patch up something you love! Everyone will get one of these bags with a hand printed patch, some tools, buttons, and more.

If you’re interested in coming please reach out! Space is limited and it’s going to be worth your time✨

This event is
Saturday Oct. 3 from 3-5pm in Southern Wake County

Do you know what is written in our North Carolina State Constitution about education?

Section 1 of article 9 starts with “Education encouraged

Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools, libraries, and the means of education shall forever be encouraged“

Our state requires attendance for all “sufficiently” able children, and yet our public school funding for EVERY child is insufficient.

Our state leaders need to do better to uphold the convictions of our constitution - that education is necessary to the “happiness of mankind.”

Let’s hold ‘em to it together and make our #publicschoolstrong
