Dear Friends:
We are truly in our feelings at Emancipate NC. The worst scenario has come to pass. The majority of our countrymen chose to abandon democracy and embrace hate. We cannot be afraid to say the truth aloud. Those who want to see us disappear are not afraid to speak their distorted truth. Nor should we be.
We know so many of you feel lost and hopeless. We share your feelings of tension about what is to come and your fear about how we will survive. The answer to the question of survival is the same as it has always been, even if we collectively forgot the answer — WE MUST KEEP US SAFE.
Things are going to get harder for all people of conscience. But, for Black people, things will become bleak. This moment of American history requires radical self sustainability and self reliance.
WE ARE WHO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
We should be feeding ourselves with food grown in our own gardens and farms. We should be teaching ourselves with community based learning centers dedicated to feeding the minds and souls of our people. We must become students of revolutionary history and political education. We should be learning self defense and defense of others. We should be setting up tribunals to hold EACH OTHER accountable for behavior that does not benefit the whole. We should be normalizing multi generational living to help ease sheltering for our people. We should be sharing resources, ideas, strategies and dreams to create the world WE deserve.
WE ARE WHO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
Emancipate NC will use our energy, brilliance, power and time to help YOU become who WE need. This is not going to be easy. We will make mistakes, have setbacks, and reassess the strategy when needed. But the most important thing is that we build self sufficiency together.
WE ARE WHO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
For months, Emancipate NC has been in the community educating folks about Project 2025. We have traveled to all corners of this state with the hopes of educating the people on what we should expect in the event that a country built on the promise of democracy chooses a dictatorship over a government of the people. We are here. The choice has been made. Now, we must do what must be done to build, survive, and thrive.
WE ARE WHO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
Now, more than ever, Emancipate NC needs your financial support so that we can help build a safe place for love, hope, and joy to flourish. We believe that now is the time to invest DIRECTLY into the people who want to live in a world that embraces freedom for all. Give deeply so we can invest in the people deeply. Because…
WE ARE WHO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
We love you.
