"There’s a real affordability and funding crisis, but these amendments aren’t a solution. They’re more like a scam to move more money to greedy corporations and the ultra-rich." #nc #voteNO #amendments https://bit.ly/4dXuYou

This young man has worked full time in construction to help support his family since his father was injured, while still finding time to volunteer at church. He went to his annual voluntary check-in with valid work permit in hand. ICE took him anyway. #nc https://bit.ly/4k17liH

Early voting ends Saturday, so make a plan today. IMPORTANT: If you have an absentee ballot that you haven't mailed back yet, you are allowed to go vote in-person instead. Early voting is a safer option this year than hand delivering your absentee ballot. #northcarolina #vote

At this point, the best thing you can do is to go vote early in person if you’re physically able. But in case you need it, here’s a detailed walkthrough of what you can do if you requested a mail-in ballot this year. #NorthCarolina #EarlyVoting

According to Superintendent Mo Green, one of the amendments on NC ballots this year would take local leaders' ability to fill school funding gaps using property taxes. When the NCGA is thousands behind neighboring states in student funding, Green says this is not the answer. #nc

It's great to see that North Carolina voters are ahead of where we were at this point in previous years. But elections are like a relay race and a strong start doesn't win unless the middle and end are just as strong. Everyone who hasn't voted yet, you're up. #NorthCarolina #vote

Months ago, Michael Whatley recommended that FEMA begin leaving states to handle disaster recovery on their own. It looks like Trump is looking to do just that. North Carolina needs someone who'll stand up to Trump, not enable his chaos. #nc #vote #fema https://politi.co/4ilbqMa

The real horror would be letting this election come and go without making your voice heard. Go to ncvoter.org to find your polling locations, see your sample ballot, and learn about candidates and amendments all in one place. #nc #earlyvoting

"The general trend we're seeing is that prices are coming down, but we are seeing outliers across the state who aren't lowering their prices, and they're about to hear from our office," said AG Jeff Jackson. #nc #gas https://bit.ly/4BEc4gD

Women of North Carolina have a strong and dependable ally on the Court in Justice Anita Earls. Sarah Stevens not only supported the current abortion ban in our state, she recently said in a candidate survey that she doesn't think the right to any contraceptive is protected. #nc

Anyone who ignores survivors of childhood sexual abuse –literally standing and walking away as they tell their stories– or who accuses survivors of looking to get rich from lawsuits, should never sit on North Carolina's highest court. #NC #Court #MeidasTouch #Election

Videos of students in Greensboro marching to the polls last week have inspired people across the state. If a student in your life is voting for the first time, share this list of voting sites. So much is at stake for our young people, we need their voices to be heard. #nc #voting

"When one digs below the surface, it quickly becomes apparent that each [amendment] will likely have long lasting and deeply problematic impacts while providing few if any real benefits to average North Carolinians." #NC #VoteNo https://bit.ly/4eIKbtE

Fixed income seniors are just one of the groups trying to figure out where to get the extra several hundred dollars they'll need to fill their tank this year. LIHEAP is a program that helps people pay heating bills when money is tight. Trump tried to defund it. #nc #heatingoil

Nearly a quarter of a million ballots have already been cast in North Carolina– a 25% increase from this point during the 2022 midterms. Ready to join the party? Here’s what you need to know about early voting.

Republicans in Congress ended the session early to avoid voting on AI regulation. Trump says we should let AI companies "police themselves." We need leaders like Roy Cooper, who will step up to put AI guardrails in place where federal leaders have failed to act. #nc https://bit.ly/4egTBwh

"Their rulings affect almost everything in North Carolina. Racial discrimination, public school funding, voting rights, water quality, worker safety, and even your utility bills and your privacy. So they're incredibly important roles." #nc #court #election https://bit.ly/3TZBhkk?

The road to fair elections, clean drinking water, and fully funded public schools begins this fall. Step 1 is re-electing Justice Anita Earls to the NC Supreme Court. Make a plan to vote today at ncvoter.org #NorthCarolina #CourtTheVote #FairCourtsNC

Between now and Halloween, students living on campus in North Carolina can go to the nearest early voting site to register and vote all at once. You just need a document from your school with your name and campus housing address, and a photo ID. #nc #vote https://tinyurl.com/Campus-Voter

From the size of our electric bills, to the quality of our drinking water, the NC Supreme Court has a say. Starting today, you have a say on who sits on that court. Let’s send someone to the bench who will actually fight for us. #NorthCarolina #CourtTheVote #YourCourtsYourVoice

Charles Taylor is running as a Republican against unaffiliated April Montgomery in Lee & Moore Counties. In addition to this video gambling business, he reportedly failed to disclose multiple homes in his candidate filing. #nc #sanford https://bit.ly/4zx9mHC

Our courts should protect everyone, not just the powerful. That’s why Justice Anita Earls is fighting to hold big corporations accountable, protect public education, and safeguard our democracy. She’ll continue to fight for us on the NC Supreme Court. #NorthCarolina #CourtTheVote

Our friends at Influence NC are throwing 12 early voting parties at campuses around the state. They're providing free buses to the nearest voting sites, food, drinks, voting resources, and merch. Check their link to find the party closest to you. #nc #vote https://tinyurl.com/InfluenceNC

What's the the NC Court of Appeals? The CoA keeps local judges in check, making sure cases are decided fairly. Anyone who files for unpaid child support, a restraining order, or is unfairly evicted may need the CoA. We need to keep fair judges in office. Every vote matters. #nc

Citizens are able to vote in-person at locations in their counties. Those who missed the regular voter registration deadline are able to register or update their registration and vote at the same time at early voting sites. #nc #earlyvoting https://bit.ly/4dEd4H4

"We can help people hold on to the health coverage they are eligible for. And we can keep pushing for a North Carolina where getting sick does not have to mean choosing between seeing a doctor, buying groceries, and paying the rent." #nc #ncgov #medicaid #healthcare https://bit.ly/3TAthX5

North Carolinians need lower gas prices, but more importantly, they need leaders who will actually show up and tackle the cost-of-living crisis every day, not just when it’s politically convenient. #nc #gas #ncga #politicaltheater https://bit.ly/4hDBGSH

Despite consolidating bus routes, pausing field trips, and even buying some propane-fueled buses, many rural North Carolina school districts expect to go $250K+ over budget this year solely because of record high diesel prices. #nc #diesel #schoolbus https://bit.ly/4yFK2PE

Make no mistake. If Republicans in the NCGA gave a damn about property taxes on fixed income seniors, disabled veterans, or anyone else that isn't a big corporation, there are a million ways they could have helped at any time. The amendment on your ballot is vague for a reason. #NC #VoteNo #NCGA

It's taken NC Republicans over seven months to pass a single bill addressing gas prices. But redrawing voting districts in Eastern NC? Helping Dave Boliek takeover the Election Board? Denying campus voting sites? Those took no time at all. #nc #ncga #gas #prices #priorities

Gas and diesel didn't become expensive last week, we've been dealing with it all year. Do these guys really think people will believe it took them this long to notice? And their "solution" conveniently only lasts until next month... after the election is over. #ncpolitics #gas

Some of North Carolina's most important races are going to be close ones. It's so important that we not only show up to vote, but vote for EVERY office on our ballots. #nc #vote #election #downballot

Justice Earls is the sort of person you wish all public servants would act like. She stands up for workers, consumers, voters, and victims every time. Keeping her on the NC Supreme Court will be a big win for all North Carolinians. #nc #election #court

Our plan: 1) Vote early Oct. 15-31 2) Week one, during lunch break 3) Remember to bring ID 4) Save 888-OUR-VOTE to contacts in case of problems at the polls What's your plan? #nc #vote #haveaplan

North Carolinians have watched our grocery budgets cover less and less all year. Food pantries were struggling to keep up with demand before the war in Iran drove up the cost of the diesel their trucks rely on. Combined, it's shaping up to be a generational crisis. #nc https://bit.ly/4yw2RVp

Beyond representation in Congress, these changes would make it harder to track and address problems like demographic health disparities. Public comment is open through October 13th. #nc #census https://dailytarheel.com/484373/city-state/city-census-data-changes-north-carolina-impact/

Don't get surprised by who and what's on your ballot when early voting starts next week. You can get a sneak peak now using tools like http://www.ncvoter.org/guide #NC #Vote #BePrepared #FullBallot

The nation's most efficient safety net program just became harder to manage so billionaires could get a tax break on your dime. On October 1st, a provision of the Big Ugly Bill kicked in. It pushed many of the administrative costs of SNAP off onto states & counties. #ncpol #SNAP

We were proud to be invited to hear speakers working in health care, immigration, education, voting rights, and the arts discuss the cultural, economic, educational, and civic roles Latine communities play across North Carolina. #NC #LatineAndProud https://bit.ly/4hGCF3m

"The Census is our currency," said Jovita Lee Miller, deputy director for North Carolina Black Alliance. "If communities are undercounted, then you can also be sure that those communities are underresourced."

Disturbing audio resurfaced this week of Supreme Court candidate Sarah Stevens criticizing survivors of childhood abuse. NC needs a justice who isn’t afraid to hold the powerful accountable, someone who has the courage to stand up for what’s right. Stevens has proven that she can't be that leader.

While Michael Whatley was appointing a sex offender to GOP leadership, Sarah Stevens was in the NC House arguing to defend abusers and the organizations that cover for them. #nc https://bit.ly/3U4Z4iS

All around your town, you'll find shops and restaurants established by Latine North Carolinians. Latine workers contribute over $61 billion to NC’s economy each year, and Latine entrepreneurs are driving the rapid growth of small businesses in our state. #NC #LatineHeritageMonth

TIME CHANGE: We're looking forward to seeing all of you this Saturday and hanging out with Claudia Jordan while enjoying lunch and some good music by DJ She's A+. Same location, just a new time: 11am-1pm. #charlotte #nc #event #vote

This month, we honor the incredible contributions of Latine communities by calling on our leaders to invest in our collective future. We should be investing in working families, not fear campaigns. #NC #LatineHeritageMonth #LatineAndProud

We will continue to celebrate our heritage by standing with and protecting one another. This year, one of the best ways we can do that is by voting– register online by Oct. 9. Early voting begins Oct. 15. #LatineHeritageMonth #LatineAndProud #NCVotes
