A historic movement has risen in the streets in response, to say that Black Lives Matter; to demand rights for essential workers; to say ‘No more!’ to evictions and student debt; to demand healthcare for all; and to defend migrant communities from ICE and deportations. But we know that there are forces that oppose us that want to turn the clock backwards - and they’re mobilizing right now too. From racist efforts to suppress our rights to vote, to intimidate voters at the polls, or to use every mechanism at their disposal to challenge the results after the election, we know that they will do everything they can to fight the movement we are building to win the society we deserve. The South is no stranger to these efforts to challenge progress, whether it has come in the form of Jim Crow laws or racist gerrymandering, they will utilize any means they can to desperately hold on to their power. Will we let them get away with it now? We say: hell no! Young people and students have long played a pivotal role in movements for social change. Today is no different. It’s up to us to fight for the future we know we deserve. Sign on to the pledge of resistance to say: We will mobilize our communities to get out and vote We will oppose efforts to suppress our votes leading up to, during, and after November 3 We will mobilize and join efforts to defend democracy if attempts are made to steal the election Add your name First Name * Last Name * Email * Phone Number * City * State * School (if applicable) - Choose existing -Alamance Community CollegeAppalachian State UniversityAsheville–Buncombe Technical Community CollegeBarber-Scotia CollegeBarton CollegeBeaufort County Community CollegeBennett CollegeBladen Community CollegeBlue Ridge Community CollegeBrunswick Community CollegeCaldwell Community College & Technical InstituteCampbell UniversityCape Fear Community CollegeCarolina Christian CollegeCarolinas College of Health SciencesCarteret Community CollegeCatawba Valley Community CollegeCentral Carolina Community CollegeCentral Piedmont Community CollegeCharlotte Christian College and Theological SeminaryChowan UniversityCleveland Community CollegeCoastal Carolina Community CollegeCollege of the AlbemarleCraven Community CollegeDavidson County Community CollegeDuke UniversityDurham Technical Community CollegeEast Carolina UniversityEdgecombe Community CollegeElizabeth City State UniversityElon UniversityFayetteville State UniversityFayetteville Technical Community CollegeForsyth Technical Community CollegeGardner–Webb UniversityGaston CollegeGordon-Conwell Theological SeminaryGreensboro CollegeGuilford Technical Community CollegeHalifax Community CollegeHaywood Community CollegeHigh Point UniversityIsothermal Community CollegeJames Sprunt Community CollegeJohnson & Wales UniversityJohnson C Smith UniversityJohnston Community CollegeLees–McRae CollegeLenoir Community CollegeLenoir–Rhyne UniversityLivingstone CollegeLouisburg CollegeMartin Community CollegeMayland Community CollegeMcDowell Technical Community CollegeMeredith CollegeMethodist UniversityMid-Atlantic Christian UniversityMitchell Community CollegeMontgomery Community CollegeMount Eagle College & UniversityNash Community CollegeNorth Carolina Agricultural and Technical State UniversityNorth Carolina Central UniversityNorth Carolina School of Science and MathematicsNorth Carolina State UniversityPamlico Community CollegePfeiffer UniversityPiedmont Community CollegePiedmont International UniversityPitt Community CollegeQueens University of CharlotteRandolph Community CollegeRichmond Community CollegeRoanoke–Chowan Community CollegeRobeson Community CollegeRockingham Community CollegeRowan–Cabarrus Community CollegeSampson Community CollegeSandhills Community CollegeSchool of Communication ArtsShaw UniversitySouth Piedmont Community CollegeSoutheastern Baptist Theological SeminarySoutheastern Community CollegeSoutheastern Free Will Baptist CollegeSouthwestern Community CollegeSt. Andrews UniversitySt. Augustine's UniversityStanly Community CollegeStrayer UniversitySurry Community CollegeThe Art Institute of CharlotteTri-County Community CollegeUniversity of Mount OliveUniversity of North Carolina at AshevilleUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel HillUniversity of North Carolina at CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at GreensboroUniversity of North Carolina at PembrokeUniversity of North Carolina at WilmingtonUniversity of North Carolina School of the ArtsVance–Granville Community CollegeWake Forest UniversityWake Technical Community CollegeWarren Wilson CollegeWayne Community CollegeWestern Carolina UniversityWestern Piedmont Community CollegeWilkes Community CollegeWilliam Peace University (Peace College)Wilson Community CollegeWingate UniversityWinston Salem State University Organization (if applicable) I want to receive text updates: * Yes No I want to take action by: (check all that apply) * Getting friends, coworkers, and family to sign this pledge Participating in mass mobilizations after November 3 (send me information!)
