🎉 Introducing FORSYTH STRONG

This Sunday, June 14, we will gather for the Founding Assembly of Forsyth Strong, a new countywide organization committed to building relational power for justice and creating lasting change in our community.

What makes this moment so significant?

âś… 1,039 leaders and members have already joined the effort
âś… More than $53,000 has been raised to support the work
âś… Congregations, nonprofits, neighborhood leaders, and community organizations are coming together around a common purpose

Forsyth Strong is being built on the belief that meaningful change happens when people develop relationships, identify shared concerns, and act collectively for the common good.

At our Founding Assembly, we will publicly launch the organization and announce our inaugural campaigns focused on:

📸 This weekend, members of Camel City United Indivisible had the privilege of participating in the Indivisible North Carolina Summit at Winston-Salem State University.

For three days, organizers and advocates from across the state gathered to share ideas, learn new skills, build relationships, and strengthen the movement for democracy, equity, and community engagement.

The summit featured workshops on organizing, leadership development, coalition building, voter engagement, communications, and community action. Just as important were the conversations between people from different communities who share a common belief that our democracy works best when everyone participates.

We were honored to help welcome attendees to Winston-Salem and grateful for the opportunity to learn from so many dedicated leaders and volunteers.

Thank you to Indivisible NC, the planning team, workshop leaders, volunteers, and everyone who traveled from across North Carolina to make this event possible.

As the summit concludes, we return to our communities energized and ready to continue the work—building relationships, strengthening neighborhoods, engaging voters, and creating opportunities for people to be heard.

The future of North Carolina will be shaped not only by elected officials, but by everyday people willing to organize, participate, and lead.

Thank you to everyone who made this weekend such a success.

Tonight, community members gathered in Kernersville for an important conversation about the future of our region.

Hosted by Camel City United Indivisible, our Community Town Hall brought together residents, candidates, and local leaders to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing North Carolina as our communities continue to grow.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on data centers and community growth. Participants shared concerns and ideas about infrastructure, energy use, economic development, workforce opportunities, housing, public services, and how communities can have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their future.

We also discussed broader issues including public education, civic participation, voting rights, economic opportunity, and what it means to build communities that are strong, inclusive, and prepared for the next generation.

One theme emerged throughout the evening: growth is coming, but communities deserve a seat at the table. Residents want development that creates opportunity while protecting quality of life, investing in neighborhoods, and ensuring that the benefits of growth are shared broadly.

Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, shared perspectives, and helped create a respectful and thoughtful conversation. Democracy works best when neighbors come together to listen, learn, and engage.

Special thanks to St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church for hosting us, our candidates and community leaders for participating, our moderator and volunteers for their hard work, and everyone who took time out of their evening to be part of the discussion.

What are your thoughts? How should our communities approach growth, development, and investment in the years ahead? We’d love to hear your perspective in the comments.

Two Hawaiis. One America.

This morning I was sitting near the Waikīkī Post Office waiting for a tour. Across the street were luxury stores—Louis Vuitton, Dior, high-end shops, expensive coffee, and thousands of visitors enjoying what many people consider paradise.

Just a few feet away, under the shade of a tree, was an unhoused couple living out of bags and a stroller.

The contrast was impossible to ignore.

What struck me wasn’t that wealth exists or that people struggle. Both have always existed.

What struck me was how close they were to each other.

On one side of the sidewalk: extraordinary comfort and abundance.

On the other side: people carrying everything they own.

The distance between them was less than a hundred feet.

The distance between their lives felt enormous.

And the more I thought about it, the more I realized this isn’t a Hawaii story. It’s an American story.

I’ve seen the same thing in Winston-Salem. I’ve seen it in North Carolina. I’ve seen it in cities, suburbs, and rural communities across the country.

We often talk about housing, poverty, mental health, addiction, wages, and opportunity as separate issues. But standing there this morning, they all seemed connected. They are really questions about community.

Who belongs?

Who gets left behind?

What responsibility do we have to one another?

A society should not be judged only by the success of its most fortunate members. It should also be judged by how it treats those who are struggling.

I’m curious what others think.

When you see this kind of contrast—extreme wealth and extreme hardship sharing the same space—what does it say about our communities? What does it say about us? And what, if anything, should we do differently?

Aloha from Waikīkī.

As I prepare to launch another canvass this morning, I find myself reflecting on a question that came up repeatedly during several community conversations this week:

How did we get here?

When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, I was proud. As a Black man who grew up in the South, I never imagined I would see a person of color elected President of the United States. Like many people, I thought we had turned a corner. I imagined a future where each election would build upon the last and where the country would continue moving toward a more inclusive democracy.

I now realize I was confusing progress with permanence.

One of the most powerful moments from last night’s discussion was hearing people reflect on what happened after 2008. Many of us thought we had crossed the finish line when we had only reached a milestone. We assumed the work was done. We stopped paying attention. We stopped voting in local elections. We stopped teaching the next generation what it took to secure the rights many of us now enjoy.

Another difficult truth emerged. While white Americans must confront the history and ongoing reality of white supremacy and white privilege, those of us in the Black community also have responsibilities. We cannot assume the victories won by previous generations will sustain themselves. The men and women who marched, organized, endured violence, and sacrificed for voting rights expected us to carry that legacy forward.

Too often, we have treated those victories as permanent rather than something that must be protected by every generation.

What struck me most was the realization that democracy doesn’t disappear all at once. It erodes when people become spectators instead of participants. It weakens when we fail to tell our stories, teach our history, vote consistently, and remain engaged in the life of our communities.

Maybe that’s why these conversations matter. Maybe that’s why we’ve knocked on more than 1,000 doors in the past three weeks. Maybe that’s why I keep showing up to house meetings, youth panels, candidate forums, and community discussions.

Because democracy is not inherited.

It is renewed.

And every generation has to decide whether it is willing to do the work.

As I head out to another canvass today, that’s the question I’m thinking about.

What an outstanding and productive month of community engagement!

Tonight marked the third community gathering this week and the fifth community-focused event this month involving members of Camel City United Indivisible. Looking back over the last few weeks, it’s remarkable how much has been accomplished.

We’ve hosted conversations about public budgets, organized youth-focused panels, held candidate forums, participated in neighborhood gatherings, and created opportunities for residents to engage directly with one another about the issues that matter most. We were also honored to have Council Member Joiner join tonight’s conversation and share her perspective on issues affecting the South Side and our broader community.

At the same time, our volunteers have been hard at work in neighborhoods across Forsyth County. My best estimate is that we’ve knocked on more than 1,000 doors in just the last three weeks, listening to community members, learning about local concerns, and building relationships one conversation at a time.

Tonight’s event, Holding Justice in a Post-Superpower World, continued that spirit of civic engagement. Organized by CCUI members and community partners, the gathering explored Timothy Snyder’s reflections on democracy, power, and civic responsibility. Participants read, discussed, questioned, and reflected together on how citizens can help shape the future of their communities.

What stands out most is not any single event—it’s the growing culture of participation taking shape across our county. People are showing up. They’re asking questions. They’re sharing ideas. They’re investing their time and energy in building a stronger community.

Five community gatherings this month. Three this week. More than 1,000 doors knocked in three weeks. Hundreds of conversations with neighbors.

That’s not just activity—it’s community building.

Thank you to every volunteer, host, organizer, speaker, and participant who has helped make this such a meaningful month. Together, we’re proving that democracy works best when people show up, get involved, and stay connected to one another.

What a productive month, and we’re just getting started.

Another great evening of community building at Rupert Bell Recreation Center as neighbors from the 400 Cluster came together for a house meeting and conversation about our community.

I had to step out early for another commitment, but it was encouraging to see residents continue sharing ideas, concerns, and hopes for the neighborhood. These gatherings are becoming an important part of our organizing model: spend time in the community listening to people through weekend canvassing, then come back together a few days later to deepen relationships and discuss what we’ve learned.

Real change starts with listening. It starts with neighbors talking to neighbors, building trust, and identifying ways we can work together to strengthen our communities.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this gathering a success. One conversation leads to another, and together those conversations can build something powerful.

Tonight’s School Board Candidate Forum reminded us of something important: our community cares deeply about our children, our schools, and the future we are building together.

The conversation was energetic, engaging, and at times challenging — exactly what meaningful public dialogue should be.

Candidates and community members discussed a wide range of issues, including support for Exceptional Children, youth investment, summer opportunities, enrichment programs, school funding, and the Board of Education’s request for additional resources. Parents, educators, organizers, and residents all brought thoughtful questions and real concerns to the table.

One thing became very clear throughout the evening: many of the issues facing public education are complex, emotional, and deeply connected to the realities families experience every day. Trying to explain those challenges — and possible solutions — in only two minutes is not easy. Yet the candidates leaned into those conversations with sincerity, and the audience responded with passion, curiosity, and respect.

What stood out most was not just disagreement or policy discussion, but the shared recognition that our young people need investment, opportunity, support, and communities willing to show up for them.

Democracy works best when people come together face-to-face to listen, ask questions, and engage with one another thoughtfully. Tonight was a reminder that these conversations still matter.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, volunteered, and helped create a space where our community could come together around the future of public education.
