#ENDMONEYBAIL

​

Durham Chapter partnered up with NC SONG for the second year in a row to free Black mothers and caregivers from cages in the Durham County Jail. Over the last two years, this local dream team bailed out over 30 community members and initiated the city's first bail reform in 10 years.

DURHAM BEYOND POLICING

​

Launched in 2016, the #DurhamBeyondPolicing Campaign came to a close this year. After calling citywide attention to oppose the city's new $71 million dollar police headquarters, the campaign shifted to create an alternative city budget for Durham. We called for our city's budget to hold a commitment to #BuildBlackFutures. This campaign's strategy and coalition building led directly to the wins of the Participatory Budgeting campaign.
