The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People Political Action Committee (DCABP PAC) successfully advanced its 2026 midterm election activities with a well-attended “Meet and Greet” held Thursday at Provident 1898. The event drew strong participation from both candidates and community members and marked a key milestone in DCABP’s ongoing commitment to informed civic engagement and voter education.
Provident 1898, located in downtown Durham, served as an ideal venue for the gathering. The community-centered business and coworking facility is rooted in Black entrepreneurial legacy and economic empowerment. Inspired by Durham’s historic Black Wall Street and the legacy of the NC Mutual and Provident Association founded in 1898, the space provided both historical significance and a professional environment for meaningful dialogue between candidates and voters.
More than 40 local, statewide, congressional candidates, and local elected officials were in attendance. Each candidate was afforded the opportunity to present their case for earning the support of Durham voters, while challengers outlined their vision and priorities for change. The event functioned as a grassroots civic forum, offering community members direct access to candidates to discuss pressing issues, share concerns, and voice priorities that will help shape the future of Durham as well as the state of North Carolina.. It was truly an engaging and community-centered evening!
Following the Meet and Greet, the DCABP Political Committee executive members convened on Saturday to present recommendations for each race to the full Political Committee, ensuring transparency, structure, and adherence to established processes. On Sunday, those recommendations will be presented to the DCABP general body for consideration of endorsements for the 2026 primary election cycle.
