Raleigh PACT
"We are a coalition of community-based groups, community leaders, and non-profit organizations committed to human rights. We came together in April 2015 because we knew from personal experience or were seeing in our backyard the need for accountability, equity, and transparency in Raleigh policing. We're working together to educate our community on our rights and end racial profiling, selective enforcement, excessive force and harassment by police." - https://www.raleighpact.org
Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood is a trusted health care provider, an informed educator, a passionate advocate, and a global partner helping similar organizations around the world. Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people worldwide. As you may know, Planned Parenthood is often underfunded and in a battle to keep funding sources. Take some time to donate to your local group if you prefer, or to our's here in North Carolina.
EmancipateNC
Emancipate NC was founded on the knowledge that mass incarceration and structural racism harm all of us. Prison is state-sponsored violence. We are all complicit in its harms. As an organization, we are dedicated to shifting the narrative on racialized mass incarceration through community education and mobilization. The mainstream narrative that criminalizes Black and Brown people must be transformed—so that we can all get free. Emancipate NC is a project of the Carolina Justice Policy Center.
National Lawyers Guild
The National Lawyers Guild is the nation’s oldest and largest progressive bar association and was the first one in the US to be racially integrated. Our mission is to use law for the people, uniting lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people by valuing human rights and the rights of ecosystems over property interests.
