GRIT
Welcome to Greater Rochester Integrity & Truth Our local group connects like-minded people in our community who want to work with others who share their values to protect democracy on the local, state and national levels. Our name stands for a variety of words, heralded by the determination and grit we'll need to protect democracy. You can also find us on Facebook by searching GRITTY DEMS: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1261259318375662 House Rules (in progress): • We won’t always agree. That’s okay. • We are inclusive. Objectives (in progress): Create a community of support where we can sort through the disinformation together. Learning how to have conversations and common ground with others A space to shed our feelings of helplessness and outrage where we reinvigorate hope by taking action: - Supporting each other - How to talk to relatives, friends who have heads in the sand, or are on the fence. (forget the other 32%) - postcard/letter writing campaigns - workshops - comparison chart (each of us take a topic to compare/contrast with sources) - create a FB group? We will sort out our goals when we meet. This is all new and in progress right now. We can't wait to meet you!

Wake Public School Advocates
Join public school advocates in Wake County to collaborate on support for public schools. Currently we attend school board meetings and follow school board work sessions. We work in collaboration with pro-public school groups and individuals to inform our local school board about issues that are of concern to students, families and citizens in our county. We are nonpartisan, but support candidates who are public school advocates and advocate for legislation that will positively impact public schools. Training is encouraged for effective advocacy. We are fortunate to have many public school advocacy groups in our county who have training and resources. Connecting with members within these groups makes our impact stronger. To get started (or for some refreshers), try these groups: Red, Wine, and Blue NC https://redwine.blue/north-carolina/ Public School Strong https://www.mobilize.us/downhomenc/event/557516/ Defense of Democracy NC https://www.facebook.com/groups/dofdnorthcarolina Stop Moms for Liberty NC https://www.facebook.com/groups/433800682059017 Save Our Schools!
