Durham for Organizing Action works toward social justice by defending democracy and fighting racism, sexism, economic injustice, and all forms of oppression.
Come to Our Next Meeting
All are invited to our next DFOAction meeting on Monday, June 26, 2017 at 6:45 pm at North Regional Library at 221 Milton Rd in Durham. The meeting will start with a presentation. Then we will break into working groups around DFOAction’s priorities: civic education, communication strategy, resisting deportation, stopping police violence, deep canvassing toward 2018 NC elections, and healthcare.
