HYPE Presents: Our Launch Event – RCV Ballots & Bernie Vibes 🌳
Democracy, Delivered with a Double Documentary.
Hickory Young Progressive Echelon (HYPE) ignites the spark: A free double feature of two NEWLY RELEASED short documentaries that crack open electoral reform and cross-aisle grit. First, a riveting 30-minute dive into ranked-choice voting (RCV), the game-changer ditching toxic two-party gridlock for fairer elections. 🗳 Followed by a punchy 15-minute spotlight on Bernie Sanders hitting Trump country, showing how progressive fire can bridge divides in deep-red heartland towns. Ideal for fueling talks on voter power, media myths, and flipping the script on politics-as-usual. A for fun informational launch event.
Post-Flicks Fire-Up: Laid-back circle to dissect the docs, trade reform ideas, meet each other, and if there's enough of us that hang around we can brainstorm HYPE's roadmap. 💡 So plan to stay after until 3 if you are interested in growing this into more than a Facebook group! ✊️
Where: Hickory Public Library -

Why This Matters: We're channeling Foothills fire into fair systems: universal basics, bold reforms, and elections that serve us, not donors. Jump into HYPE's first meeting: Zero fees, all fuel. 🚀 I've planted the seed, now its on all of you to help spread the word, HYPE this social movement here in the Foothills, and SHOW OUT for our event. Is there a progressive motivated team out there in the Catawba Valley area?! Time will tell! Lets join up and Rock the Vote in 2026! 💙🌊
