Create The Change Durham!

Welcome to Create the Change Durham!

Believing that democratic participation involves more than casting a ballot, we want to find meaningful opportunities for continued progressive activism by everyone who has been engaged and inspired to take part in political activity by the fact of Barack Obama’s candidacy.

We need everyone's continued involvement to create the change we deserve.

In the next two months, help make it happen:

>> Sign up for door to door canvassing to survey our neighbors so that we can assess our community needs and priorities.
>> Help plan a people’s agenda summit for January '09
>> Continue to use creative ways to make a difference

Take the Survey Right Now!
