The HOPE Beacon Has Been Lit!

It has been one year since we made history in North Carolina, accomplishing the daunting task of turning a North Carolina blue for the first time in decades. Echoing our president, "Now it's time to deliver." Time to deliver on health-care reform.

Former NC for Change campaign staffers are flying in from all over the country to participate in this rally and canvass the weekend of Nov 7, so please join us as we celebrate an anniversary and get into action.

NC Pride is this weekend. It marks the 25th anniversary of this celebration. Of course the main event is the Parade at 1pm today. But there are speeches, festival grounds, food, vendors, booths, and lots of fun to be had. I'm about to head over to NC Pride, check out what is going on, and then volunteer at the Equality NC booth for a while.

I would argue that it is important for as many people to turn out to this parade and rally as possible, because it is the first one since prop 8 & the protests, and it is important to see this as not only a good time, but also a large political rally with a positive message. I also want to take a second to share some info on the Parade Marshall Mark Kleinschmidt, a Chapel Hill town councilman who is running for mayor, and for whom I am the campaign's volunteer coordinator:
