🗳️ Every Vote Counts: North Carolina Could Decide the Election! 🗳️

This election will be decided by just a few votes in key swing states, and North Carolina is fully in play. What we do now could determine the outcome, but we can't do it without YOU.

🗣️ Get involved! Whether it's donating or volunteering, your efforts can make the difference. We've already started canvassing and knocking on doors, but we need every hand on deck to keep up the momentum.

Remember, it's crucial to vote from the top to the bottom of the ballot. NC Republicans are running some of the most radical candidates in the nation—ready to defund our schools, dictate our bedrooms, and take away our freedoms. We can't let them succeed.

What you do today could be the difference between a country moving forward with joy or one being dragged backward by fear. It's easier to make a difference now than to fight for survival later.

Let's fight together, because "when we fight, we win!"

This study highlights the severe impact of restricting reproductive care, particularly in states with already high maternal mortality rates. Investing in maternal health and ensuring access to safe abortions are crucial to prevent these tragic outcomes.

Wow! Mo Green brought the house down this past weekend--at both our overflow breakfast AND the Educator Meet & Greet. If you missed it, be sure to read the recap on our news blog. Mo shared that we are in a fight for the "very soul of public education" and that everything he does, he does in honor of his mother, who went from being dirt poor to becoming a beloved special education teacher. "And you best believe that I’m not going to do anything less than all that I can."
