Despite the wind & rain, Traction had a great trip in an eco-friendly van out to Greenville, NC this past weekend.
We talked to young voters tailgating the ECU game in the morning, and to folks outside a Kirk Franklin concert in the evening.
Thanks to all who came out, and we can’t wait to go on another Traction field trip soon!
Tonight is a very special night @ the Traction HQ…
We’ll be gathering from 6pm-7pm for our Scream Team meeting. The Scream Team is made up of those wonderful folks who are helping to make Trick or Vote everything it can be this year… and who like to dress up in costumes, have a fun time, and eat some wonderful s’mores. Do you want to be a part of the Scream Team? Just email us: spooky@getTraction.org
Even better: just come on out to the Scream Team meeting tonight…. if you dare *cue the scary cackling laughter*
THEN:
At 7pm we’ll be doing a volunteer training for everyone who wants to help Traction raise the bar on this election— by lowering it on the limbo pole. That’s right, our first How Low Can You Vote event is this Saturday @ SPARKcon in Raleigh. If you wanna be a part of this action, tonight’s the night to come out. Want to RSVP? We’d really appreciate it: the email is 2008@getTraction.org
Can’t wait to see y’all soon!
Tractivists, do you like to watch?
For the next five weeks, we are the epicenter of U.S. politics! The whole world is watching. So it’s time for us to ACT, not to watch. Look for an email soon with ways to be active in this election cycle with Traction.
But on April 11th and 12th, it’s time to join your fellow Tractivists and WATCH…

Can’t decide whether to go out on Mardi Gras and laissez les bon temps rouler, or stay in and feed your inner political junkie with results from the Super Tuesday primaries?
Well, then, behold SUPER FAT TUESDAY: mardi gras bacchanalia and up-to-the-minute primary coverage all rolled into one! Yes, Traction’s at it again, stirring up a blend of the two best things to happen in February.*
How, you ask, is this possible? The plan goes like this:
Gather at the Fishmonger oyster bar, because nothing says N’awlins like oysters, cher. If oysters don’t do it for you, we’ll have other bayou faves like gumbo, plus beer, king cake, gen-u-ine Mardi Gras beads, a kickass Cajun soundtrack and a big screen TV for your red vs. blue exit-poll-viewing pleasure.
RSVPs appreciated: superfat@getTraction.org
