Monthly Meeting: Staying Engaged During the Summer Lull

Stay pumped and energized for change - despite the summer heat and humidity - at our monthly group meeting! We will first discuss EMHN’s upcoming events and then cap off the evening by helping you take action on a political or community issue of your choice. Here’s how it’ll work: 

  1. Choose your issue:
    1. The sale of public lands in “The Big Beautiful Bill” or NC Republicans’ attempts to revise the state’s definition of “wetlands” that will put millions of acres of wetlands - and flood protection, clean water and wildlife they support - at risk
    2. Potential passage of the SAVE Act in the US Senate and examples of voter suppression on the state level
    3. NC Republicans push for concealed carry without permit (SB 50) 
    4. Upholding Governor Stein’s vetoes of anti-immigrant “Border Protection Act” (SB 153) and "Cooperation with ICE Expansion” (HB 318)
  2. Work together with a small group of fellow EMHN members to address the issue through a joint action, like: 
    1. Writing postcards or sending emails to your elected state or federal representatives and agencies
    2. Creating phone scripts to call your elected state of federal representatives
    3. Writing letters to the editors of local or national newspapers 
    4. Using RWB’s Rally or other tool to educate friends and family
  3. Wrap up by discussing ways you can follow up on this issue in the days and weeks to come.
