Take Action Chapel Hill is a grassroots activist coalition based in Chapel Hill, NC. Formed in August 2018 to support anti-racist activists facing charges related to protests against white supremacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, they created the "Anti-Racist Activist Fund" which provides support for current and future defendants in the struggle against white supremacy in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas.

Their organizing efforts led to the takedown of the contentious confederate monument Silent Sam and ongoing efforts to challenge narratives of campus history related to Civil War and racial justice. Though they formed in response to the toppling of a particular monument, they hope to build an infrastructure not just for supporting ongoing organizing against Silent Sam but also for organizing against all forms of oppression in their community and around the world.
