We can’t talk about self care without talking about the systems that keep making us tired.

Yes … we deserve the bubble baths, journaling, gym time, therapy, and quiet mornings with tea. Those moments matter. But self-care can only go so far when the systems we live in are built to drain us .. not sustain us.

When housing isn’t affordable,
when healthcare isn’t accessible,
when wages don’t cover the basics,

No amount of candles or solo healing practices can undo that kind of harm.

That’s why we need community care. 💛

Care that goes beyond the individual and reminds us we’re not alone.

healing isn’t just personal it’s political.

It’s collective. It’s cultural. It’s a shared responsibility.

Let’s practice care that lifts all of us.. not just some.
Let’s dream of a world where rest, safety, and support aren’t luxuries, but the baseline.

With everything that’s going on in the world.. politics, inflation, & global crises it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling. When people finally reach out for help, they’re met with waitlists, closed doors, or no providers at all. That’s what happens when mental health care isn’t funded. Raleigh, we deserve better. Our kids, our neighbors, our families all deserve real access to mental health care. Raleigh must invest in care that helps us all heal & thrive. 💚

Raleigh is growing…but for who?  🤔 
The average paycheck here doesn’t match the rising rent, and Families who’ve called this city home for generations are being pushed out while developers build for profit, not people.
Real care looks like keeping housing affordable so the people who built Raleigh’s culture can actually stay and enjoy it. 

This is our city, and it should be livable for ALL of us…not just those who can afford luxury apartments.✨💛

Raleigh’s getting bigger…but our paychecks aren’t.🥱

We need a city that keeps us close,
that holds us, that lifts us.

Homes we can call ours.
Spaces that heal our minds.
Work that values our time.
Streets, parks, and schools where we belong.

This is our city, our culture, our heartbeat.
Let’s take care of it… and each other. ✊🏾

Tomorrow, workers and oppressed people across the country will unite to fight the ruling class agenda that is attempting to roll back every measure of social progress won through struggle over the last century.

We are rallying to demand a country that puts our families over their fortunes--public schools over private profits, workers over bosses, migrant safety over fear-mongering, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness, and solidarity over US-led imperialism and genocide. We join a chorus of workers across the world who are freeing themselves from the chains of capitalist, imperialist domination and organizing for working class power towards a global liberated future.

Join us and numerous other endorsing organizations tomorrow, May Day, 4:00PM at Halifax Mall in Raleigh as we unite and fight.

Join us this Saturday at 4pm in solidarity with as they kick off election week!

Nearly 5,000 Amazon workers at RDU1 in Garner, NC, have been organizing to win their union, with an election set for February 10-15. This comes in the midst of Amazon worker organizing picking up across the country, in many cases building off the networks of rank-and-file cadre who have been organizing inside Amazon for many years, as is especially the case here in NC. In January 2022, workers at Amazon’s RDU1 fulfillment center established CAUSE, co-founded by Rev. Ryan Brown and Mary “Ma Mary” Hill.

The South has historically been the most difficult region for labor organizing, with a Jim Crow legacy that has sought to suppress workers' power through keeping them in low-wage, exploitative conditions with little to no bargaining power—especially Black and brown workers. NC is the 2nd least unionized state in the U.S. NC’s “right-to-work” and other anti-union policies weaken unions, making it nearly impossible for workers to collectively demand better conditions.  

A victory for CAUSE would be a historic breakthrough for the Southern labor movement, proving that workers in one of the most anti-union states in the country can organize and win against corporate giants like Amazon. It would be a major step toward rebuilding worker power in the South.

Our vision of real community safety in Raleigh and beyond is rooted in economic justice. When workers win power, our communities become stronger, safer, and more self-determined!

Let's get this win! See y'all Saturday!

📢 Join us in Raleigh TODAY to stand with Hitachi workers fighting for fair wages and benefits! Workers from Greensburg and Mt. Pleasant, PA, are picketing their company’s HQ, demanding a family-sustaining contract and fair negotiations. Let’s show up in solidarity and support their right to a fair contract!

"'When our fellow union members are under attack, we are gonna fight back,' stated Willie Brown, President of the North Carolina Public Service Workers Union, UE Local 150. Brown continued, 'We can’t sit by and watch corporate greed go unchecked. We are rallying at Hitachi’s headquarters to let them know that they need to do right by the workers that make their profits.'"

10/29/2024

When all the ballots are casted and election season is over, the work to get our people what we need to thrive will still be ongoing. As we continue to make the municipal budget a critical site of struggle, we must be proactive in the annual budget process.

Join us - in collaboration with , , and - on November 16 at the Southeast Raleigh YMCA for an educational community event about the ins and outs of this process and how it impacts housing, community safety, and all the things we’ve been fighting for. We’ll have workshops, free food, live music, giveaways, and fun kids’ activities that will encourage them to get engaged on their level! Our goal for this event is to create the conditions to engage our community members in a real participatory budgeting process.
