Elections will be here before you know it! 🗳

NOW is the time to visit your local elections office or website to check your registration, make sure your identification is in order, find your polling location, volunteer to work the polls, and get in the loop about what's going on with your local board of elections by attending monthly meetings.

This year's election is going to be the most important one of our time, as almost all of our rights have been under attack by the current administration. It's time to mobilize and make sure we get our community to the polls‼

Don't wait until it's too late - Stay ready so you don't have to get ready!

The NC stands behind your right to CHOOSE!

Every person should have the right to simply choose who they love. As a country, it is not our job to tell Americans how they should live their lives, especially when it does not affect the quality of life of others.

The LGBTIQA+ community deserves love, peace, and happiness just as much as everyone else, so this month we celebrate YOU with PRIDE! 🏳️‍🌈

🌀 HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE — Are You Ready?

The NC NAACP is urging all North Carolinians to prepare NOW. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1–November 30, and our communities — especially those with the fewest resources — are hit hardest.

✅ STORM READINESS CHECKLIST:
☑ 3–7 days of water (1 gal/person/day)
☑ Non-perishable food & manual can opener
☑ Charged battery banks & flashlights
☑ Medications & medical supplies
☑ Copies of IDs, insurance & important docs
☑ Cash on hand — ATMs may go down
☑ Know your evacuation route & shelters
☑ Family communication plan
☑ Check on elderly & disabled neighbors
☑ Sign up for county emergency alerts
☑ Secure loose outdoor furniture
☑ Keep your gas tank at least half full

⚖️ Disasters don’t affect everyone equally. Low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities face the greatest barriers to recovery. Know your neighbors. Share resources. Demand equitable disaster relief.

105 years later, we still remember what was taken from Black Wall Street.

The Tulsa Race Massacre wasn’t just an attack on a neighborhood. It was an attack on Black success, Black wealth, and a thriving community that built for itself despite every barrier placed in its way.

Today, we honor the lives lost, the stories too often left out of textbooks, and the legacy of Greenwood that still lives on. Never forgotten.
