Speaker for July:​

Immanuel Jarvis

In 2012, Mr. Jarvis was introduced to the Durham Co. GOP and worked along other leaders to form the Black Republican Committee for the Durham GOP.  He was given the title of Vice Chair and worked to display authentic Conservatism in the black community through food drives, coat drives, back-to-school drives, and creating forums where political diversity could be offered with decorum and mutual respect.  With his help, the voter registration of Black Republicans has grown by over 20% in Durham since its inception.

His passions, however, reach further than public service. Together with his wife, Mr. Jarvis operates an urban livestock farm, a thriving business specializing in locally sourced meat and eggs. Currently, they serve over 8,000 families per month, offering protein for area food banks.  Through summer farm camps, tours, farm-to-table meals, and homestead classes, they are educating and inspiring their community to stay connected to sustainability and agriculture.
