Trump really got on stage in Gastonia and pretended North Carolina is some sort of scary, lawless no man's land. He even called us the "worst in the nation." No amount of fearmongering will stop NC voters from heading to the polls when early voting starts next month. #ncpol #vote

There's 53 days until we can elect Kamala Harris as President. I wrote for @IA_Impact about what this moment means for me, the South Asian community, and girls everywhere. https://t.co/KkbUC7ZDpP

Grateful for the voice of @OfficialMLK3 in this important race. Mark Robinson's platform of hate and bigotry should alarm anyone who stands for justice and equality.

This Father's Day, @OfficialMLK3 is speaking out against @markrobinsonNC's attacks on his father and the Civil Rights Movement.

"You'd be in the budget process and you'd realize there was money going to some position out of the blue,” one former Republican lawmaker said.

“As parents, students, and educators prepare for Back to School this week, it will be under a haze of uncertainty and hate as GOP legislators have prioritized targeting vulnerable children over passing a state budget that will give hardworking educators the raises they deserve."

If the day ends in Y, we'll be holding Mark Robinson accountable for his dangerous rhetoric and extreme policies. #CARENC

From A-Z, Mark Robinson isn't for me. #CARENC

Mark Robinson’s ABCs spell disaster for education. He has said he would eliminate science and history from elementary schools and get rid of the State Board of Education.

So @RepTedDavisJr, who campaigned on upholding the current law, voted for an extreme abortion ban because "every other Republican member said they would vote for" it. A real Profile in Courage!

[Jon Evans @JonEvansWECT]

NEW: @RepTedDavisJr released an updated statement to WECT on his vote Tuesday evening to override @NC_Governor's veto of #SB20. #ncpol #ncleg

[Pia Nargundkar @PiaNargundkar]

The @NCMedSoc says Republicans' new abortion ban interferes in the doctor-patient relationship, is administratively burdensome, not evidence-based, and will compromise patient access to safe care.

Bottom line: #SB20 is dangerous, extreme, and political overreach. #NoBansinNC

“There will be consequences, for children and parents alike. They will fall heaviest on the least privileged among us, who already struggle from a lack of health care, a lack of child care, poor maternal health outcomes and economic hardship.”

"Senate Republicans have voted down every attempt to make our communities safer, from universal background checks to red flag laws...intent on making it possible for any individual, no matter how dangerous, to acquire a deadly weapon, no questions asked."

"We need to demonstrate to the American people that when they vote to give Democrats power we will use it to the fullest extent possible to defend everybody's civil, economic, and human rights."

Actions @AOC recommends Congress and Pres. Biden take:

- entertain expansion of SCOTUS
- end the Senate filibuster
- repeal the Hyde Amendment
- codify Roe, same-sex marriage, right to contraception, and interracial marriage

New year, new job! Excited to be joining the team @ProgressNow_NC as the new Messaging Director. Can't wait to advocate for the progressive policies and leaders North Carolina needs in 2022 and beyond!

[Pia Nargundkar @PiaNargundkar]

The fight for abortion rights and women's equality is happening at the state level. If you live in a state with a Republican-controlled legislature, let's change that ASAP! Donate to progressive, pro-choice, local candidates today.

[Lillian's List @LilliansList]

Wondering what we're doing to protect #reproductivefreedom in North Carolina and how you can help?
1) We fund progressive women running for state and local office. Help us gain a #prochoice majority in the NCGA: https://t.co/BNTGzCOmWz

Women of color face many barriers when running for office, including a fundraising gap. Have you analyzed your donation habits? Get the facts from our new blog!

[Lillian's List @LilliansList]

New on our Take the Lead blog: A study shows women of color running for office receive significantly less money from donors than other candidates. Learn the facts and find out what Lillian's List is doing to remove barriers and elect more women of color. https://t.co/HMR3nk9iCf
