ABOUT TOGETHER WE STAND NC
We founded a small grassroots organization called Together We Stand NC (TWS) in June 2020. The impetus of the founding was the murder of young Ahmaud Arbery on February 23, 2020, along with several other killings of people of color over the past ten years. The goal of TWS is to initiate and facilitate brave, authentic conversation between races and genders for better understanding and heightened awareness of their daily challenges.
Our goal is to build a network of engaged persons and businesses with the purpose of creating a sustainable conversation effort to build awareness of the challenges facing people of color and the LBGTQ community. Our view is the conversations must be authentic, engaging, and sustainable to achieve the goals of education and build greater awareness.
Together We Stand NC has raised over $38,000 for area charities since February 2021.
2023 Together We Stand NC partners include George Linney Mortgage, HOKA, Feetures, Locklaces, Fleet Feet Sports, Omega Sports, RunCLTRun, The Glass Jug RTP, Ponysaurus Brewing, Fullsteam Brewery, NoDa Brewing Co., Divine Barrel Brewing, and Goofy Foot Taproom.
