Medical Debt Protections
No one should face financial ruin because they got sick or had an accident. Passing medical debt relief and protections would give North Carolinians peace of mind that they can access quality, affordable health care and focus on healing.
Criminial Justice Fines and Fees
Rising court fines and fees – and harsh penalties for not paying them – are putting more of our neighbors and family members at risk for jail time, job loss, and other life-changing consequences. We need our elected officials to act to ensure North Carolina institutions and public policies better support people affected by fines and fees.
Raising the Minimum Wage
We deserve jobs that pay enough to afford the basics for ourselves and our families. Raising the minimum wage would provide a much-needed boost to households facing rising inflation and housing costs.
Public School Funding
All children in North Carolina deserve access to a high-quality education, regardless of whether they are from wealthy or poor families. Thirty years after the landmark Leandro court decision requiring lawmakers to spend more on education and share funding more fairly across our state’s schools, the state is even farther away from meeting its constitutional duty to provide our kids with the opportunity to receive a sound basic education
Understanding the “Citizen Only” Voting Amendment
Vote “NO” on the misleading “Citizen Only” Voting Amendment in North Carolina, which creates unnecessary confusion without changing existing laws that already require U.S. citizenship to vote.
