The NCGA is back in session next week– and they still haven’t passed a budget for 2025. Call your legislators and tell them to pass a budget that pays our teachers, protects Medicaid, and makes corporations pay their fair share. #ncpol #TaxDayReality #FundOurFuture #FairShareNow

New polling from @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social shows that women trust Democrats in Congress more to handle the issues most important to them. Electing more pro-choice, progressive women up and down the ballot this November is imperative. Read more: navigatorresearch.org/pulled-in-ev...
ICE at airports isn’t about safety.
It’s about control—and making people afraid.

Grateful that Lillian Exum Clement shattered glass ceilings for us here in NC! It was an honor to join @lillianslist.bsky.social Senator Salvador @1stormie1.bsky.social @elaine4nc.bsky.social and the great Erica Porter for a Women’s History Month panel at Meredith College last night.
Bomb threats. Protests of more than a THOUSAND hostile abortion opponents. Nearly 40% of their patients come from out of state. This is the reality of providing abortion care in North Carolina today. A must-read at @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Birth control is basic health care. It should be accessible and affordable for every person who needs it.
Birth control SAVES lives. It should never be up for debate.
Most people will rely on contraception at some point in their lives. It supports chronic condition management, pregnancy prevention, and the ability to plan a future on one’s own terms. ✨🗓️

North Carolina has now gone 218 DAYS WITHOUT A BUDGET. Apparently Republicans are too busy taking away your right to vote and colluding with ICE to terrorize our communities to get around to that. 🤷♀️

Newsflash to Republicans: abortion isn't murder. Murder is what ICE did to Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
Attacks on abortion are attacks on public health. Full stop.
Stay safe from ICE this weekend, both the winter storm kind and the fascist terror squad kind. 😏
Are you pissed off? So are we. Instead of doomscrolling, take five minutes to call your elected officials and tell them to DO SOMETHING to save democracy and protect our rights.
@5calls.org makes it easy. You have more power than you think you do. Make those calls today! 5calls.org
Navy blue text on a yellow background says, "One Year of Project 2025: The Trump administration's ongoing campaign against reproductive health & rights."
Navy blue text on a white background says, "One year in, Project 2025 is serving as the Trump administration’s playbook for undermining sexual & reproductive health & rights." Below is a list of actions taken by the administration, including attacks on abortion and contraception, threats to patient privacy and safety, the weaponization of federal Medicaid dollars, threats to global reproductive health and more.
In his first year back in office, President Trump wasted no time in undermining reproductive health and rights worldwide.

Ciji Graham, a Greensboro police officer, should be alive today. Instead, she died while waiting for a life-saving abortion. This is the reality of our state’s draconian abortion ban.

NEW: After doctors sent her home with a racing heart, Ciji Graham came to believe the best way to protect her health was to end her pregnancy.
But new restrictions in NC and nearby states made finding an abortion provider difficult.

NC Republicans are trying to cut Sunday voting and eliminate some campus polling sites because they can't win if people can access the ballot box. We deserve better than politicians who refuse to pass a state budget while trying to take away your right to vote!

You deserve a government that will fight for your safety, your health, and your fundamental rights. You deserve elected officials who won't cower to authoritarian goons like ICE but will stand up for you when it matters most. Remember that this November.

From affordability and presidential approval to primaries, courts, and turnout, the 2026 midterms in North Carolina could be shaped less by last-minute surprises than by signals already emerging.

The Republicans in the NCGA have spent a decade trying to reshape power in the state so that it remains in their hands, rather than in the hands of the people. Enough is enough. 2026 our chance to reclaim our democracy by electing the progressive, pro-choice women who will fight for it.
Need a last-minute sweater for the holidays? We’ve got you covered 😉🩷
Yesterday, our state has lost a great leader and champion with the passing of Gov. Jim Hunt. Throughout his political career and especially during his four terms as Governor, Gov. Hunt championed women’s rights and access to education for all.
We mourn the loss of this true statesman.

There's still time to throw your hat in the ring by filing to run for office in North Carolina! We need progressive women with integrity who will fight for our democracy and protect our rights. If you've thought about it, now is the time! And we will be with you every step of the way. www.ncsbe.gov
We deserve to have a government that defends our rights, rather than curtails them. Our fundamental right to bodily autonomy--and that includes abortion--is non-negotiable.
In 2026, let's elect more progressive, pro-choice women who will fight extremists to protect our human rights.
