Senate Testimony Against Redistricting
On May 21, 2026, Julie Zimmerman testified against this rushed restricting that would misuse $6 million worth of tax payer dollars AND result in her community being attached to Upstate communities.
House Testimony Against Redistricting
On May 13, 2026, Julie Zimmerman testified against the rushed redistricting proposal at the State House. South Carolinians deserve fair representation - not politicians redrawing political maps designed to protect power and rig the system. While families are focused on real issues, politicians are playing political games.
PLA Graduation
On May 6, 2026, Julie graduated from Conversation Voters of South Carolina's Palmetto Leadership Academy. This in depth training prepared Julie to lead in conservation efforts to protect her community.
Irmo Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive
Julie led the third Neighbors helping Neighbors Food and Supply Drive on April 19, 2026. As the war with Iran drives prices up on food, gas, and other household essentials, Julie saw the need once more in the community. Thank you to all the volunteers and donors who helped make it success!
Testimony Against S.1095
On April 14, 2026, Julie testified against a draconian abortion ban that provides no exception for the health of the mother, incest, or rape. South Carolina's communities already have a need for more OB-GYNs and this bill would only drive more qualified health care professionals from our state.
Testimony Against H.4764
On February 17, 2026, Julie testified against H.4764. This bill would compel local law enforcement to enter into agreements with ICE which would erode trust between communities and law enforcement and make our communities less safe.
ICE Our of Our Communities Protest
ICE Our of Our Communities Protest
After the unlawful shooting and killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, Julie knew that she had to rally her neighbors to stand in solidarity with the resistance movement in Minnesota. More than 75 of our neighbors came to show their support for the rule of law and against the unlawful practices of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
Christmas in Irmo
Christmas in Irmo
Julie was honored to be able to participate in two inaugural events. First, she volunteered at an artificial tree lot for local families in need. Then she was able to walk with the Greater Irmo Art Guild. Their beautiful and creative float took home the Best Non-Profit prize!
Inaugural Irmo Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive
When Congressional gridlock shut down the government, it prevented families in need from accessing their SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Julie saw the need in her community. She launched Irmo Neighbors Helping Neighbors and held their first food drive on November 2, 2025. The community came out to support! Thank you to everyone who donated and volunteered.
