      The article discusses grass roots political activism and the Down Home North Carolina progressive policy organization in relation to an effort to turn North Carolina from a conservative to a more politically liberal state as of 2018. Activists Brigid Flaherty and Sharon "Lois" Cullins are addressed, along with the political aspects of health care, race relations, and economic issues in North Carolina. Social justice in the Blue Ridge Mountains region is assessed.
