We still have power here!

Hey all,

This is my first post, so please be kind. With that being said, I’ll just jump right into it. A lot has been made of the Moore v. Harper case that the Supreme Court is set to hear next year. A lot of the information I’ve seen posted seems to be very (rightfully) urgent about the way the Supreme Court could rule on the case. The only things missing from these articles have been, what we can do to

Now, I’m a union organizer and I love myself a bit of direct action. I got this idea from Sharon McMahon, who posted an Instagram story about this. Basically, for those who don’t go on Instagram, the idea is that we can call on Tim Moore to drop this case as an affront to democracy. It would be a shame if people bombarded his office with calls and emails asking him to drop the case. He can still withdraw the case “in light of new information”:

Legislative Office:

16 West Jones Street, Rm. 2304

Raleigh, NC 27601-1096

919-733-3451

Mailing Address:

16 West Jones Street, Rm. 2304

Raleigh, NC 27601-1096

Email: [email protected]

Main Phone: 919-733-3451

Another thing we can do is call on the people who sponsor his campaign to defund this anti-democratic Representative. That list is here. The main thing I want to emphasize is when you are calling Tim Moore or his donors, to be polite and respectful, but firm. I know it’s difficult to remain even-keeled with this case, but if you are angry and yelling, it’s very likely your comment will be disregarded. I also especially encourage folks in North Carolina, Republican, Democrat or Independent, to reach out as well.

Of course, the other thing we can do is vote and donate so we have the majorities at the state level to protect people’s rights!

Happy to hear other ideas if people have them as well. What I would prefer folks not do, is tell me why my plan won’t work without offering one of their own.
