Petition: Protect the voting rights of the citizens of NC... (at whitehouse.gov)
As y'all know, there was some awful legislation passed this session. I could go on and on about which was the most harmful, and to which groups...
But in the spirit of the Forward together/Moral Monday Movements, what's an affront to one is harmful to all. And it really all starts with voting rights.
So.
There's a petition out there at whitehouse.gov-( I was number 11 to sign it, just so you know that I'm not asking y'all to do anything I wouldn't, lol) to "Protect the Voting Rights of the citizens of North Carolina and Investigate new voting restrictions enacted in state."
in order for this petition to be potentially acted on, WE NEED 100,000 petition signatures by Sept 29th. If you don't already have an account at whitehouse.gov, it takes about 3 minutes to sign up, and then you can create petitions of your own, (after you sign this one, right? 
) or sign other people's petitions to their government.
You don't need to be from NC, or live in NC to sign this. Therefore, if you have an aunt in South Dakota, they can help assure your rights to have your vote be counted, not challenged, or have your entire COUNTY suddenly have to vote in one site like in Watauga county, where 10,000 North Carolinians are forced to vote in ONE location on election day... because the Republican-led BOE mandated it at a meeting, and then.... made sure the notes from the meeting were destroyed
Please help save our equal right to participate in a participatory democracy. It only takes a few minutes to sign the petition. It also takes only a few more minutes to share this with friends... ESPECIALLY if you put it up on facebook or twitter or other social media sources.
Thank you for reading this.
