Progress NC Action

Progress NC Action was founded in 2011 to promote public policies that make NC a fairer, healthier, more equitable state.
Trump wasted no time cutting livesaving funding like this when he came into office at the start of the year. You were quick to make sure everyone saw the impact on NC universities.

Republican politicians said a lot of gross things this year, but this one was jaw dropping. Thank you for making sure this clip didn’t go unseen.

This was the moment when a lot of people began to realize how far Trump was planning to go in his illegal overreach with ICE. Thank you for standing in solidarity both then and now.

Hegseth has been in the news a lot lately for the illegal civilian boat strikes in the Caribbean. To think that he’s only in charge because NC’s Thom Tillis put him there.

Every one of these Congressmembers knew how many of their own people this vote would hurt and they did it anyway. Thank you for making sure everyone else knows too.

After months with no movement on a state budget, NC Republicans showed they can move quickly when it’s for Trump instead of for you. Rep. Reives’ straight-talk was exactly what people want to see from their leaders. Thanks for sharing it with so many.

2025 has been a lot. A lot of fast changes, a lot of anxiety, and a lot of uncertainty. But it was also a lot of solidarity, a lot of resistance, and a lot of hope as people across the state and nation realized the power of people united. #ncpol #northcarolina #happyholidays

Following Trump’s lead, Michael Whatley has repeatedly claimed in interviews that groceries, gas, and housing have all become more affordable. How out of touch he is might be funny if he wasn’t running to be the next NC Senator. #ncpol

This year, North Carolina spent a lot of time in federal courtrooms. With Congressional Republicans under Trump’s thumb, state Attorneys General were often the ones to take a stand. And boy did NC’s Jeff Jackson come out swinging. #ncpol #wrapped

Trump named Michael Whatley as his Helene Recovery Czar in January. We now know that it took until September for him to even speak to the Recovery Office for Western NC. They haven’t heard from him since. Now he’s running to be NC’s next Senator. #ncpol #wnc #midterms

What happens when the NCGA is 5+ months late on passing a budget? “Public education is effectively placed on a starvation diet,” explains one parent.

Here's some good news that may have slipped by you last week. Building Resilient Infrastructure & Communities (BRIC) grants fund infrastructure projects for communities vulnerable to natural disasters. NC has fought for months to get this money back. #ncpol #goodnews

Sometimes, it's good to take a moment to just vibe. A lot of things are starting to happen in the people's favor...
and we love to see it.

Republicans are doing everything they can to tilt the 2026 midterms in their favor, but one North Carolina veteran is determined to make this district more competitive than ever. #ncpol

Republicans redrew a North Carolina district held by a GOP incumbent. A war veteran Democrat is looking to take advantage.
North Carolina was among the GOP-led states this year that redrew congressional lines mid-decade in an attempt to benefit Republicans.

Leandro might be the most consequential NC Supreme Court ruling of the last 30 years. Vance County teacher Sharita Jones cut through the legal jargon to explain the stakes.

The next stop on Trump's tour to convince Americans that prices aren't climbing is in Rocky Mount this Friday. North Carolinians are holding a rally of their own that day to talk about reality instead of Trump's fantasy world. #ncpol #healthcare #prices

Soaring prices and cuts to public assistance in Washington & Raleigh have made it harder for local food banks to help North Carolinians. What are some of the organizations in your area that could use a donation or extra set of hands this holiday season? #northcarolina

"My daughter didn't have a teacher for nearly half of this last school year, and before that, she went through most of kindergarten without a teacher. And we are still working to close the gaps in her education because of it," said one parent.
Educators and parents push for resolution in public school funding case
The case dates all the way back to the 1990s.

Inaction will lead to higher costs, less coverage, and worse health outcomes. Action will lead to lower premiums and more access to care. Right now, Republican inaction has us headed down the path to higher costs. #ncpol #healthcare #costs

"What we want to do is make sure that we do not relent, we do not let up, we keep on our toes, we keep aggressive. Because it’s about delivering opportunity for people," Gov. Stein told reporters.
2025 'a record-setting year' for new NC job announcements, says Gov. Josh Stein
Economic development officials have focused on certain sectors, with job announcements paced by the largest in North Carolina's history.

43rd in teacher pay, 1st in procrastination– It’s been nearly 30 years since the NC Supreme Court ruled that every child has a right to a sound education. Yet NC Republicans still haven’t fully funded our schools. #ncpol #Leandro #FundOurSchoolsNow

Gov. Stein restored Medicaid funding for North Carolina this week, but warned that the NCGA has more work to do: “For months, the General Assembly has failed to fully fund Medicaid, forcing cuts to provider rates, and leaving people and providers stressed and vulnerable.”
