The North Carolina Faith & Freedom Foundation is bringing its 8th annual Salt & Light Conference to Marion, NC on September 26-28, 2025.

Billed as "the largest most influential faith-based policy conference in North Carolina," it will feature the following notable politicians:

• Kristi Noem, Secretary. U. S. Department of Homeland Security

• Michael Whatley, Chairman, Republican National Committee and aspiring U. S. Senator from North Carolina

• Dave Boliek, North Carolina State Auditor

• Congressman Mark Harris (R-8th Congressional District)

Mitchell County Democrats will join the McDowell County Democrats, Mountain Indivisible of WNC, and others in protesting outside the conference to show those attending that not all North Carolinians support the Christian Nationalist agenda promoted by this conference and the failed policies of the government officials who are attending.

Please sign up for a shift so that we can keep you apprised of plans and logistics. Encourage your friends and others to join all of us. And, don’t forget to make your signs.
