SUMMARY:Good Trouble Lives On: A Day of Nonviolent Action
DESCRIPTION:On July 17\, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing\, we join people across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble. \nAs the Trump administration and its allies escalate attacks on civil rights—from voter suppression laws like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest—we rise to say NO. We are the people. And in America\, the power still lies with us. \nThis day is more than a protest—it’s a moral reckoning. A tribute to the life and fight of John Lewis. A bold step forward in our ongoing movement for justice\, dignity\, and democracy. \nJoin Camel City United Indivisible North Carolina and Democracy NC for a decisive\, peaceful action rooted in nonviolence\, unity\, and purpose. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Elective Pay (“Direct Pay”) Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join the City of Winston-Salem with the Town of Davidson and the City of Greensboro for an informative roundtable on Elective Pay\, also known as Direct Pay\, in collaboration with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance. \nElective Pay is a federal mechanism that enables tax-exempt entities—including municipalities\, public school districts\, nonprofit organizations\, and houses of worship—to receive direct cash payments equivalent to clean energy tax credits. This allows eligible organizations to recover a portion of project costs related to clean energy investments\, such as solar power systems\, geothermal installations\, electric vehicle (EV) purchases\, and EV charging infrastructure.Many organizations that have implemented clean energy solutions are now preparing to file a federal tax return in order to access these incentives. This session will explain the Elective Pay process\, provide tools and resources for filing successfully\, share best practices for planning future clean energy projects\, and highlight eligible projects completed or planned in 2025.“This roundtable is a great opportunity for municipalities\, schools\, nonprofits\, and faith-based institutions to maximize their project impact and sustainability efforts\,” said Dr. S. Shree Dorestant\, City of Greensboro chief sustainability officer. \nREGISTER HERE
