2009
After building
relationships across faith, ethic background and economic status for
almost three years, J.U.I.C.E. is ready to become a permanent
organization. Leaders of the Committee have been patiently putting
together the building blocks of collective power. They focused
on recruiting institutions, raising their own money, traininghundreds
of leaders, identifying priorities and developing a collective agenda.
The committee will become
a permanent organization at a Founding Ceremony scheduled for the night
of Monday October 26, 2009. Hundreds of leaders from across the County
have pledged to gather to officially launch the organization. The
Founding Ceremony will coincide with an important election time in our
County. All candidates seeking public office in the area will be
invited to attend.Our organization never endorses any of
the candidates, but we always ask the candidates to publicly endorse
our community agenda.
Founding Ceremony:
- Monday October 26, 2009 at 7:00 PM. United Church of Chapel Hill

The Founding is a celebration of our collective commitment for Justice.
-
The organization will be
launched by those that want to be Founding Members. Those that have
completed training will be recognized, and we will unveil our new name
and agenda.

Those seeking elected office will be invited to endorse or speak against our agenda

As reported by Kirk Ross of the Carrboro Citizen on OP and on the CC site, Chapel Hill Town Councilmember Bill Strom has announced that he will be resigning as of August 1, and will be leaving the area.
The interesting political implication is that I think the Council will now be expected to appoint a replacement since this resignation did not happen within the 40-day window before an election candidate filing period which would have led to an automatic appointment of the 5th vote-getter.
Hey all! Thanks for doing such a great job of keeping the conversation going while I am jugging a new job and my newly expanded family! With the municpal and city school board elections coming up, I want to make sure OP continues to be a key source of information for voters. In the past, our election section has carried nonpartisan candidate information, links to media guides, and listing of events. On the new OP we can do much more.
Since we have a proper calendar now, folks can submit events directly, and we'll all be on top of the latest forums and candidate schmoozefests. We can also use the database power behind the site to make more useful candidate lists (I got halfway there with the 2008 candiate list last year), and maybe even some handy maps like those contributed in 2007.
