We need leaders who know what it’s like to juggle work and family, and who are ready to be a champion for working people.
“For more than a decade the state’s minimum wage has been stagnant, but I know your bills haven’t been.”
Let’s go @DiamondForNC!

Reminder that most state-backed economic projects in North Carolina don't meet initial goals.
In 2017, AllState said it would bring 2,250 new jobs to Mecklenburg County. Today, the state terminated AllState's incentive with 0 jobs created.

I really appreciated being a part of this conversation & I learned a lot from the other panelists. The gist of my remarks: W/ the environment they're in now, teachers can't do their jobs & also effectively lobby the legislature. We need more parent & community voices #ncpol#nced
Rep. @AllisonDahle spoke powerfully about how NC’s ban on gender-affirming care will harm the state’s youth.“We are supposed to support the people of North Carolina and write laws that help the people of North Carolina,” but that’s the opposite of what this ban will do. #ncpol
Breaking: NC House passes Parents’ Bill of Rights. @NCHouseDems filed 7 Amendments but none were heard. Several Democrats including @LeaderReives, @marciahmorey, and @juliefornc express concern that their Caucus is not being given the opportunity to debate. #ncpol#ncleg
BREAKING: A federal court permanently blocked an Arkansas law that would have banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth, finding the law violates the constitutional rights of transgender youth, their parents, and their medical providers.
We have been getting a lot of questions about how we will navigate the incoming July 1st NC ban and potential 6-week SC ban. We will update our Abortion FAQ page weekly; if and when anything changes with clinic partners and access, we’ll update there!

I cannot pretend to know what North Carolinians feel in this moment. But for me, I have fewer rights today than I did yesterday, and that doesn't feel good.
(1/2) This morning, I was featured on MSNBC to discuss the abortion ban bill pushed through in the dark of night by Republicans.
I will vote to sustain Governor Cooper's veto to protect reproductive freedom for North Carolinians.

Rep. @JoeJohnNC40 says mugshot websites are requiring people who want their picture removed to pay "an exorbitant fee — usually in amount of $3,000 or $4,000."

Today, just 48 hrs after the GOP filed their abortion ban @NCSenateDems had the longest debate the Senate has had about a bill in over a decade in support of freedom for NC’s women. Republicans ignored state law, broke Senate rules, and silenced our citizens to pass their bill.
