North Carolina Open Thread: Asheville Connects

Welcome to North Carolina Open Thread For Sunday, August 22nd. This is a weekly feature of North Carolina Blue. We hope this regular platform will give readers interested in North Carolina politics a place to share their knowledge, insight, inspiration and connections as we work on taking back our state from the extremists in the Republican Party.

Please join us below and every week as we try to Connect, Unite and Act with our community of North Carolina Daily Kos members. You can also join the discussion in three other weekly State Open Threads.

Michigan: Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Eastern
North Carolina: Sundays, 1:00 PM Eastern
Washington: Sundays, 3:30 PM Pacific

For those in other states, please join us as we strive to establish state open threads in all fifty. Just drop any of us a line if you are interested in hosting an open thread. Keep in mind you can share the duties with with other members in your state and set up a system and schedule for rotating the weekly contribution.

The four weekly diaries have different styles, content ideas and approaches and we are just now getting this concept off the ground so don't be afraid to start your own weekly with your own idea of how it should look and feel. And we'll give you all the support you need.

Please help us build this weekly NC thread so that it includes anything from North Carolina that you would like me to highlight.
