This gathering will dive into the often-forgotten history of how our federal, state, and local governments segregated American cities, and the lasting impact today.

Opportunity Alert! Raleigh Organizing Against Racism (ROAR), in partnership with St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, is hosting this in-person workshop, led by skilled facilitators from the Racial Equity Institute (REI). This workshop will focus on moving away from individual bigotry and bias — presenting a historical, cultural, structural, and institutional analysis over two days.

REI believes that organizations often work for equity with multiple understandings of racism that rely more on personal feelings and popular opinion. The lack of a common analysis creates complications to the goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities and producing equitable outcomes. With a clear understanding of how institutions and systems are producing unjust and inequitable outcomes, workshop participants can begin a journey towards social transformation and racial justice.

Join this workshop to be clear-eyed about what the work before us requires. To learn more and register, click here.

Join ONE Wake for a powerful public assembly to hold local and state elected officials accountable for the commitments they made to expand affordable housing across Wake County.

In October 2024, over 1,000 of us gathered to demand bold action on housing. Now, we return to hear directly from our leaders:

— Have they doubled city funding for affordable housing?

— Have they identified public land for development?

— Have they followed through on their promises?

This assembly is a key moment in the next phase of our Homeownership to Equity Campaign. It will also help set the stage for future negotiations with Wake County on a proposed housing bond and expanded investment.

Every institution is expected to turn out in strength. Our goal is to match—and exceed—the energy and turnout of last October’s action.

Let’s show our collective power, and make it clear: We expect results!

At Transitions Lifecare Hospice Home, we like to greet each new patient with a handmade blanket as a warm and welcoming touch. It's also a lovely and meaningful thing for the family to hold onto after their loved one passes.

We prefer 32x32 inches or 48x48 inches, but will take whatever your fingers can crank out! Simplicity is preferred, but feel free to be as creative as you need to be. They do need to be machine washable.
