North Carolina

Presidential Primary – March 5th, 2024

OPEN PRIMARY – You don’t have to be a registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. Just turn up a choose the “Democratic” ballot.

If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Marianne Williamson on March 5th! Marianne has suspended her campaign, but you can still put her name down as a write-in candidate! She stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

This is a primary election solely for the purpose of choosing the Democratic nominee for President. Your vote does not in any way support or enable Trump to get back in! But neither should it be merely a coronation for Joe Biden. He needs to earn our vote. And he needs to get a clear message from the citizens of this country who do not accept the status quo and want to see the changes that Marianne Williamson stands for. Vote to survive!

Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024

We consider North Carolina to be a RED state. Trump won this state with relatively small margins in 2016 and in 2020. Biden has little chance of winning this state in 2024.

In North Carolina, we consider it safe to vote for a third-party candidate in the general election, without fear that this will help get Trump back into the White House. He is likely to win this state anyway, and if he doesn’t, he has lost the election already.

If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Jill Stein on November 5th! Jill stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

Senate Race

Democrat Cal Cunningham is challenging Republican incumbent Thom Tillis for the North Carolina Senate seat. This is a seat the Democrats absolutely have to win in order to re-take control of the Senate and prevent Mitch McConnell from blocking any legislation that a Biden administration would seek to pass.

Democrats must gain at least four more seats in order to control the Senate and its agenda. This is a key target seat for the Democrats. However, just as Senator Tillis recently contracted COVID-19 at a White House event, Cal Cunningham admitted to having an extramarital affair. It is unclear how either of these revelations will affect the vote in North Carolina.

The truth of the matter is that this race is not about Tillis or Cunningham. Its about who controls the Senate and whether the next President and Congress will be able to pass legislation and make changes over the next four years that are essential to our survival as a nation and as a planet.

A vote for Cal Cunningham is a vote for survival!

House Races

The best we can hope for in 2020 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to get rid of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.

Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!

If you live in one of these US Congressional Districts, you have a progressive member of Congress to support!

District 12 – Adams
