From History to Action — Why This Series Matters to the Citizens’ Project 2025
The Citizens’ Project 2025 is about restoration, imagination, and action.
It’s about taking control of the story we’re told—and the future we’re building.
That’s why the 5-part series North Carolina Again and As Usual exists. Because if we don’t understand how democracy has been built, broken, and fought for before, we can’t shape what comes next.
This series is more than a set of articles. It’s a historical roadmap. A reminder. And a call.
In case you missed it:
- Part I: Origins of Erasure — The story of the Fusion Movement and the only successful coup in U.S. history. Read it →
- Part II: Science & Prejudice — How North Carolina used eugenics to preserve control under the banner of “progress.” Read it →
- Part III: Moral Momentum — How Rev. William Barber and the Poor People’s Campaign revive the spirit of Fusion today. Read it →
- Part IV: Courts & Contests — The 2024 Supreme Court race and what it shows us about the quiet rollback of democracy. Read it →
- Part V: Breaking the Pattern — A set of strategies for building coalitions, campaigns, and a future worth fighting for. Read it →
Together, these posts tell a bigger truth: We’ve been here before. And we can do better—if we learn, remember, and organize.
