Show up to a local community meeting. Bring your friends and neighbors. [NO DATA CENTER LOGO] Community meeting concerning the proposed data center in Rural Hall Monday, March 30, 2026 5:30pm-7:30pm Rural Hall/Stanleyville Library 7125 Broad St. Rural Hall, NC 27045
A large data center is being proposed for Rural Hall in Forsyth County. This is marketed as “economic development,” but these data centers consume massive amounts of energy at the expense of public infrastructure, and the permanent jobs they do provide are far fewer and lower-paying than their scale implies. This follows a pattern North Carolina workers are all too familiar with: growth for big business, and costs for everyone else. The proposal now heads to the local planning board. There are four ways you can get involved and take action right now: sign a petition, go to a community meeting, join us for a sign making event, and show up to the local planning board with our signs.

Piedmont Triad DSA General Meeting Thursday March 26th @ 6:30pm at Fair Witness Fancy Drinks in Winston-Salem, NC
Clothing Swap Guidelines (part 1) ALL Gender and ALL Sizes Welcome! We all struggle with sizing at some point. If you have clothing in an unusual size, we want it! When choosing what to donate think about what you'd want to swap with friends! We are looking for clothes you are proud of but aren't quite you. Staple clothes are great but be choosy. We especially want clothes that feel affirming! Coats and outwear Dresses and Suits Shoes & Boots Jewelry and Ties The Clothing Swap starts at 12:00pm in the Green Street Chapel Room (up the concrete steps to the small side door). You are NOT required to bring clothes in order to take new clothes, but please be considerate about how much you take!
Peacework Medical and the Queer Socialists Committee of the Piedmont Triad DSA logos at the top (this event is sponsored by both) The rest of the graphic reads: Join Piedmont Triad DSA and Friends for our 3rd annual Trans Day of Visibility Clothing Swap Saturday, April 4th, 2026 @ 12pm - 4pm Green Street UMC - 639 S Green St, Winston-Salem, NC Trade clothes! Get LGBTQIA+ resources! Learn how you can help organize and fight against Trans erasure in our community!

Piedmont Triad DSA stands in solidarity with Crystal Towers United and Housing Justice Now to demand dignity for the members of the Crystal Towers community. Join us and attend the next Winston-Salem City Council meeting to show your support for the tenants who will be speaking and making public comments at the meeting. Here is how you can take action: Show up. We need people in the room. The next Winston-Salem City Council meeting is on Monday, March 16th at 6:00pm in the City Council Chamber at 101 North Main Street in Room 320. Give someone a ride. Some members of the Crystal Towers community may need transportation to the meeting. Get in touch with the folks at Crystal Towers United and Housing Justice Now to see how you can help with their transportation needs.
Crystal Towers is a 201 unit apartment building in Winston-Salem that has served disabled and elderly members of our community since opening in 1972 as a Section 9 Public Housing complex. Residents of Crystal Towers, organized through their tenant union Crystal Towers United, have long advocated for safe and dignified living conditions. Tenants have reported widespread issues including mold, leaky plumbing, and pest infestations. While Fox8 reported in 2018 that Crystal Towers needed an estimated $7 million in improvements, ASPIRE (formerly known as the housing authority of Winston-Salem) says the property needs about $40 million in maintenance and repairs. In addition to concerns about basic living standards, Crystal Towers residents demand transparency from ASPIRE about the redevelopment of their building. Scroll down to take action
