SUMMARY:Community Event: National day of protest - Make Billionaires Pay!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 20th\, is another national day of protest that is being nationally led by the Women’s March. Join like-minded neighbors in Salisbury from 12-2 pm to Make Billionaires Pay! \n\n\n\nFrom the event site – On September 20th\, we will #MakeBillionairesPay. Join us in National day of protest on East Innes St\, between Lee and Depot St. to demand a better future for our communities and for all living beings. \n\n\n\nEverywhere we turn\, the crises are piling up: record-breaking heat\, wildfire smoke\, skyrocketing rents\, abortion bans\, etc.—and a tiny circle of billionaires is profiting off the mess while the rest of us\, especially women\, scramble to keep families safe. \n\n\n\nOur demands:  Shut down billionaires. Fund our future.  Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global majority.  Shut down polluters. Defend Mother Earth. \n\n\n\nThe attacks on our people are directly tied to the attacks on our planet. They’re dismantling our democracy\, attacking immigrants\, and feeding the war profiteers. \n\n\n\nIn response\, we have been working to assemble a feminist force that knits together climate defense with struggles for bodily autonomy\, racial justice\, and migrant safety—treating every pipeline fight\, clinic defense\, and voter-rights push as part of the same front.

SUMMARY:BLUE WAVE BOOKWORMS BOOK CLUB - July 29th\, 1:30 pm - Discussion continues
DESCRIPTION:Blue Wave Bookworms announce the new book for the June and July discussion will be Timothy Snyder’s “On Freedom.” The second discussion meeting is on Tuesday\, July 29th\, from 1:30 – 3:00 pm at Rowan County Democratic Headquarters\, 1504 West Innes Street\, Salisbury\, NC 28144. \nAll are welcome and if you have not read the book you are still invited to attend and listen. The plan is to try and cover pages 1-161 at the June meeting and then to wrap up pages 162-276 and conclude the book at the July 29th meeting. Book club meets the last Tuesday of each month at 1:30 pm. \nKirkus Reviews calls the book: An incisive\, urgently relevant analysis of—and call to action on—America’s foundational ideal.” \n“The author argues that it’s absurd to think of government as the enemy of freedom; instead\, we ought to reimagine how a strong government might focus on creating the appropriate conditions for human flourishing and genuine liberty. Another essential and overlooked element of freedom is the fostering of a culture of solidarity\, in which an awareness of and concern for the disadvantaged becomes a guiding virtue. Particularly striking and persuasive are the sections devoted to eviscerating the false promises of libertarianism\, exposing the brutal injustices of the nation’s penitentiaries\, and documenting the wide-ranging pathologies that flow from a tax system favoring the ultrawealthy.” \nRead the entire review at: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/timothy-snyder/on-freedom-2/

SUMMARY:Thursday\, July 17th\, Good Trouble Lives On\, 5-7 PM\, Salisbury
DESCRIPTION:Rowan County organizations\, Salisbury Indivisible\, Women for Community Justice\, and Rowan County Democratic Party invite the community to join them on Thursday\, July 17th\, from 5-7 pm at the intersection of Innes and Church Streets to rally for democracy and in support of the United States Constitution. \nGood Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America\, the power lies with the people. \nOn July 17\, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing\, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble. \nFrom voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest\, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America\, the power lies with the people\, and we’re rising to prove it. \nThis is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead\, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. \nPlease note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. \nThis is a permitted event. You can find more information at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/810176/?followup_modal_context=nonexclusive_newsletter_closest \n

SUMMARY:Salisbury Community Event - NO KINGS  - June 14th - 3-5 pm
DESCRIPTION:MARK YOUR CALENDAR & read more about why there are NO KINGS rallies scheduled across the nation.   \nMeanwhile from 50501 – https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=50501 \nThey’ve defied our courts\, deported Americans\, disappeared people off the streets\, attacked our civil rights\, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. \nOn June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else. \nNo Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns\, from courthouse steps to community parks\, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like. \nWe’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind. \nThe flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it. \nOn June 14th\, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones\, no crowns\, no kings.
