SUMMARY:Addressing Extreme Heat through Faithful Community Resilience

SUMMARY:Screening of American Coup: Wilmington 1898
DESCRIPTION:Join Umstead Park United Church of Christ for a screening of American Coup: Wilmington 1898. This powerful documentary is sparking critical conversations about the legacy of white supremacy and the importance of preserving democracy. The film uncovers the untold story of the only successful coup d’état in U.S. history\, when white supremacists overthrew Wilmington’s multiracial government in 1898. This pivotal event reshaped the political and social landscape of North Carolina and the United States\, but its history was suppressed for decades. Now\, the film sheds light on this dark chapter to inspire meaningful conversations across communities. \nThere will be a Q&A session after the film where educators and leaders from social justice organizations in the community will discuss lessons from the film and ways that audience members can take action on racial justice issues. Both the film and the Q&A session will be approximately one hour each. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Let Freedom Ring: A National Bell-Ringing for Democracy
DESCRIPTION:On April 18\, congregations across the country will join together in a powerful\, symbolic act: ringing bells for democracy. Inspired by the events of 250 years ago—when Boston’s Old North Church signaled the start of Paul Revere’s ride and churches throughout the area rang their bells in warning—we invite houses of worship everywhere to take part in this modern echo of history. \nWe encourage all participants to ring their bells anytime between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. in their local time zone\, creating a sweeping wave of sound and solidarity from coast to coast. \nAt 6 p.m.\, the Old North Church will ring its historic bells—the oldest in America—in commemoration of the day the American people began their fight for freedom\, liberty\, and justice for all. Whether your congregation has bells or not\, you can be part of this nationwide moment. Rally your faith community to stand up for democracy and ensure that the spirit of April 18\, 1775\, lives on today. \nIt starts with you. Will your congregation join us? \n— \nLearn more: https://www.letfreedomring.live/

SUMMARY:Stories from Essential Workers: The Case for Paid Leave for Restaurant and Retail Employees
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic showed us just how essential restaurant and retail workers are—servers\, dishwashers\, cashiers\, and stockers keep our communities running. Yet\, too many of these vital workers still don’t have access to paid leave\, impacting not only their well-being but also our economy\, public health\, and local communities. \nThis is an issue that deserves more conversation and action. Join NC Families Care Coalition\, Women AdvaNCe\, the NC Council of Churches\, and Moms Rising for a free lunch\, meaningful story-sharing\, and an opportunity to learn how to use your voice to advocate for change. Let’s come together to support policies that strengthen families\, workers\, and our communities. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:North Carolina Workers' Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10am on Monday\, April 28th in Raleigh for a press conference and solemn memorial service during which participants will toll a bell 177 times – once for each person in North Carolina who died while working for a better life in 2023 – and will renew our fight for strong safety and health protections. \nTogether on Workers’ Memorial Day\, we raise our collective voices to win stronger safety and health protections in our workplaces and stronger job safety and health laws. We hold employers accountable to keep workers safe. We demand action on critical safety and health protections against preventable workplace hazards.

SUMMARY:Red State Revival with Nadia Bolz-Weber
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful night of reflection\, music\, and connection with Nadia Bolz-Weber as part of the Red State Revival Tour. This is not the moment to concede the Christian faith to nationalists\, nor is it the time to isolate and double down on what isn’t working. Instead\, we will come together to reclaim the radical heart of the Gospel—humility\, curiosity\, mercy\, and hope—the very things Jesus called us to embrace\, even when they feel difficult. \nThe evening will include a Pop-up Choir Practice with Nadia\, where everyone is welcome to sing\, followed by an inspiring gathering featuring conversation\, prayer\, and song in community. This is a ticketed event\, with a flexible pricing option. Choose your amount and reserve your spot now! \nClick here to register.\nThe North Carolina Council of churches is a sponsor of this event.

SUMMARY:What's Next? Shifting the Faithful Fight to State Budgets
DESCRIPTION:Given the passage of an immoral Congressional spending bill that slashes federal-level support for healthcare and food assistance\, state legislators are faced with tough choices as they balance newly shrunk budgets.

Dr. Jennifer Copeland\, Executive Director of the NC Council of Churches\, along with Bee Moorhead\, Executive Director of Texas Impact\, and Peter Chen\, Esq.\, Senior Analyst at New Jersey Policy Perspective.

SUMMARY:Your Energy. Your Bill. Your Voice. Take Action!
DESCRIPTION:Due to the extreme heat forecast\, Sierra Club has canceled today’s rally against Senate Bill 266. This dangerous weather is a stark reminder of the climate crisis\, which SB 266 would only worsen. \nThis bill is bad news for our state. It undermines our 2030 carbon goals by letting Duke Energy break its promise to cut carbon emissions\, accelerating the very climate impacts we’re experiencing. \nGovernor Josh Stein has wisely vetoed SB 266. Now\, we need our NC legislators to uphold his veto and protect our state from this harmful bill. \nEven though we won’t be gathering in person\, you can still make a significant difference. CleanAIRE NC has created a link to click here –> Please take a moment to urge your NC legislators to uphold Governor Stein’s veto of SB 266.
