Who We Are |
Social Media |
|
Triangle People Power was formed by Lily Levin and Sarah Beck, two seniors in high school, after the 2017 ACLU Summer Advocacy Institute.
We focus on a variety of civil liberties--especially those targeted in North Carolina. Our work does not pertain to one issue specifically; we advocate for any and all civil liberties targeted by those in power and impacting under-represented and marginalized groups of people. Those of us with privilege recognize that--and know that we must be activists and expand our worldview simultaneously. We are a branch of the larger nonprofit organization known as People Power. We meet virtually and in-person approx. once every two weeks. We have around 25 members spanning from Charlotte to Clayton. We work on issues of racial justice, immigration reform, prison reform, and other civil liberties--all of which are a part of the ACLU's grassroots agenda. However, we are People Power volunteers; we do not speak on behalf of the ACLU.

We are fighting to preserve civil liberties for the most marginalized of individuals while learning from those directly affected by local & national policies of institutionalized discrimination.
