We believe that an informed community is an empowered one.

Voter education is central to CCUI’s mission. We regularly host events and forums to help Forsyth County residents understand the issues that affect their rights and their lives — from identifying misinformation to understanding how national policy decisions land locally.

Past topics have included Project 2025, migrant justice, Christian Nationalism, and effective activism training.
