The League is starting a new series of in person events called “Evening with the League” to highlight issues of concern to the community. Members and nonmembers are welcome! Bring a family member and/or friend for an evening of education and community interaction.

These evenings will include socializing followed by presentations by guest speakers and audience discussion. Locations may vary but will be included in the Events Calendar once confirmed. All monthly events will be hosted by our Action Teams and will focus on one of the League’s top priorities. Registration is free.

Confirmed Topics: 

• November - The Beast That Would Roar if Only it Could -- NC Citizens' Initiative - (Date: 11/12)
• January - Purple Primary Project -  Learn why voting in  primaries is even more important in a gerrymandered state - (Date: 1/2426)
• February - Trouble So Hard - Songs and Stories of Slavery, Freedom and Civil Rights. An 80-minute musical performance that follows a timeline beginning in 1526, and continues today. It speaks of the rhythms of history. That what’s happened before repeats over and again…dressed up, disguised, propagandized to be unrecognizable, but in the end, the stories are the same. History really does repeat itself! - (Date:  2/14/2026)
