Sarah Crandall, a member of the Holly Springs/Fuquay-Varina And Apex Liberal Ladies organization, joins Yo to discuss what they do to support their community by promoting progressive values.
Here’s a little bit about the politics of North Carolina (source: Wikipedia):
Like most U.S. states, North Carolina is politically dominated by the Democratic and Republican political parties. North Carolina has 13 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and two seats in the U.S. Senate. North Carolina has voted for the Republican candidate in nine of the last 10 presidential elections; the one exception was in 2008, when a plurality of North Carolinians voted for Barack Obama. Conversely, North Carolina has mostly elected Democratic governors in its history; only four Republican governors have been elected since Reconstruction, and of those only one served two terms.
Here are the questions we explored:
- How did she come to join the Liberal Ladies of Holly Springs organization?
- What inspired her to become an activist?
- What is the history/mission of Liberal Ladies?
- What activities does the organization undertake?
- How many members in the organization?
- Are there other chapters?
