BLM activist ran for City Council in Charlotte, NC and won big 😃 [View all]

I posted in GD about it too. Probably sink like a stone due to the many posts on VA elections, so I also wanted to mention it here. This feels like extra-good news to me after the divisive primary. White and black Dems came together to give talented political newcomer and activist Braxton Winston a resounding victory! Hopefully a harbinger of better things to come.
