Today is the anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Sixty-one years later, @postmodernegro reminds us of the organizing that led to that accomplishment, and that will be required to shape the future of Alabama and democracy.

Had a great night screening the new @SingSingMovie for leaders in Charlotte, NC! Many folks were deeply moved by the powerful story, and great conversations with folks afterward. Honored to be part of it!

Before the Trump assassination attempt took over everything, we had a great panel at #WildGoose2024 on ending mass incarceration. Thanks to everyone on the panel and everyone who came out for it!

Great time seeing folks — old friends and new ones!

Join us for a powerful discussion with Anthony Smith on May 16th at 6:30 pm on his chapter in the book “Liberating Church: A 21st Century Hush Harbor Manifesto.”

Anthony Smith is a poet, author, activist, city council member in Salisbury, NC, and the parish pastor of Mission House, a faith-rooted community hub in Salisbury.

This gathering is connected to a series of village gatherings & a cohort for Black folks in the triad area called “The Hush Harbor Journey.” The North Star had significant meaning for enslaved Africans who sought freedom. In our times, we need (faith) communities that help Black folks navigate collectively & individually toward freedom & healing justice.

The gathering will occur at The Hub Community Center at 502 N. Broad Street in Winston-Salem, NC. This gathering is for Black/African-descended people & is completely free. Light refreshments will be served!

Meet the Rev. Brandon Wrencher - a minister, organizer, writer, and trainer. He works across faith, education, and non-profit sectors at the intersections of decolonizing church, contemplative activism, and local presence to build beloved communities. Brandon holds a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from UNC-Chapel Hill, a Master of Divinity from North Park Theological Seminary, and completed post-graduate studies in theology and ethics from Duke Divinity School. He is currently a senior community organizer with Carolina Federation and founder of Good Neighbor Movement.

Pastor Anthony Smith, originally from Birmingham, Alabama, joined the US Navy right after high school, dedicating himself to service. Now living in Salisbury, NC, with his spouse Toni Smith, they established Mission House, an outreach mission where Anthony continues his devoted service. Pastor Smith actively advocates for racial and economic justice, contributing to reconciliation and healing in the Salisbury-Rowan community. Notably, he played a key role in relocating a Confederate monument in downtown Salisbury peacefully. As an author, poet, and faith-rooted organizer, Anthony’s leadership extends to various community initiatives, including his role as an elected member of the Salisbury City Council.

We are excited to introduce some of the incredible speakers joining us at the Charlotte Justice Conference!

Each generously bring perspectives that are rooted in cultivating healing relationships across our sibling cities of Greensboro, Salisbury, and Asheville.

They’ll be in conversation with the manifesto and our community as we cross pollinate ideas and stories that emerge in the space.

Our invitation is that you come with presence, openness, and curiosity.

Get ready to be inspired by voices advocating for positive change in our community. Our hope is that these conversations create connections and spark relationships, collaboration, and imagination.

Stay tuned for speaker spotlights and bios!
