Progressive Action to Save Our State.
The North Carolina Legislature is rolling back all the progressive work we have done in this state in regards to education, equality, economic justice, local control, and voting rights.
We need you to take action TODAY to help save early voting and much more. We need to do what we can locally and state-wide to begin to take back our state.
Click on an issue that is important to you. Then take action: write a letter to the editor, attend a phone bank, talk to your neighbors and friends about what is happening to our state. Let us know how you want to get involved today!
Need Help? See the sidebar on this page for resources and organizations. Feel free to send us an email if you have questions!
