We made history — now we build what comes next

Friends,

Tuesday night was a moment we'll never forget. Our community came together, chose progress, and voted for a future where everyone can move more freely, breathe cleaner air, and connect to opportunity. It's a transformational step for Mecklenburg County - and you were part of it.

Today, we celebrate and exhale.
Tomorrow, the legacy work begins.

Because together, we helped unlock a future that our children will grow up taking for granted - a community that moves, connects, breathes, and includes. A place where mobility means access, where safe streets and clean air are for everyone, and where our shared future feels hopeful and within reach.

All the conversations, the listening, the learning, the patience, the courage - it all mattered. And voters said loud and clear: a more connected, healthier, and more inclusive future is the one we choose.

We also know this was a close vote, and not everyone supported this measure. We honor the passion and care people bring to shaping the place we all call home. Wherever each of us stood, we share the same goal: a community that works well for everyone. We remain committed to listening, learning, and building this future together.

Looking ahead, we will:

• • Advance strong anti-displacement protections along future rail corridors.

• • Advocate for the full transit network, including a Silver Line connection to Matthews.

• • Engage residents across our community with transparency and accountability.

• • Champion people-first mobility that strengthens health, safety, and opportunity.

To do this, we need all the support we can gather.

If you believe in this future and want to help us build it, we invite you to make a gift today to sustain the work ahead.
