BREAKING: UE150 wins $13k raise for RN’s at Central Regional Hospital! The new starting salary will be $70k with $1,5k raise every 2 years! This came a week after we met with CRH CEO, DSOHF Director & State Legislators on the issue. Now it’s time to raise up everyone in DHHS!

Mifepristone is an FDA-approved and proven safe abortion medication used by over five million people. This ruling reaffirms that politicians don’t belong in the exam room and women should be in charge of their own health care decisions.

In a state where hospital prices outpace income, Senate Bill 321 is a beacon of hope. By capping medical debt interest rates & empowering patients with clear financial assistance policies at hospitals, we can build a fairer healthcare system for all NCians. #HealingWithoutDebt

Right on, @Nate! Make the corporations and wealthy their fair share of taxes, starting with Duke! How many billions do they need in their endowment before the public has to stop subsidizing their wealth?

This is a critical demand to help fund the core demands city workers!

1. In a stunning move, Gov Mike DeWine has just vetoed the gender affirming care ban for trans youth in Ohio, stating "It is the parents who know their child best."

He cited discussions with parents, the Ohio Children's Hospitals in his decision.

[NEW] Where all the PAC money goes

Many professional organizations across North Carolina also operate PACs in our state legislature. But their members have no idea what they do there.

And if they knew, they'd be outraged.
