If Congress fails to renew enhanced premium tax credits for 2026, 267,000 veterans nationwide could lose affordable health coverage — and many will become uninsured altogether.

💸 For most of us, rising costs means household budgets are being stretched to their limits.
Heaping on more health care costs is the last thing North Carolinians need. Congress can stop health expenses from skyrocketing by renewing enhanced Premium Tax Credit!

Leaders in other states are stepping up to make sure that funds are available for families struggling with rising food costs. Will our lawmakers in the #NCGA return to Raleigh to make sure people have food on the table in November or sit ideally by as NC faces a hunger crisis?

Did you know that in every county in NC, at least 1 in 10 residents faces food insecurity? No one should go hungry because they can’t afford food. The Trump Admin must release emergency funds to continue food assistance now!

The Trump Admin claims they can’t use federal contingency funds, otherwise known as emergency funds, to continue SNAP benefits in November.
That’s FALSE. What’s real is the harm they’ll cause for North Carolinians. In some NC counties, 1 in 3 residents receives #SNAP.

Today is the #SNAPDayOfAction, and we need you to join us and act now.
42 million Americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on Nov 1st. USDA has a contingency fund but hasn't released it. Contact your Members of Congress today!

High grocery costs are already stretching budgets to their limits. Next month, 1.4 million North Carolinians could see their grocery bills skyrocket. President Trump must release the funding NC’s counting on to keep delivering #SNAP assistance that helps NC families.

Income inequality has increased in North Carolina. By 2024, average incomes for the richest were 29 times greater than those of the poorest.
It’s time for NC lawmakers to make sure the richest in our state pay what they owe in taxes.
