North Carolinians deserve fair representation. We are already one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. Urge the NC GOP to back down on this antidemocratic proposal to silence voters.

How to solve climate change?
Just stop talking about it, according to the Trump Administration.
The overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change is very much real and caused directly by human activities (primarily the burning of fossil fuels).

Trump's Sec. of Agriculture has proposed removing the Forest Service’s Roadless Rule, which protects over 100,000 acres of WNC's forests. We cannot afford to lose these forests.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond?
By garnishing their wages.
When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond?
By extending their tax cuts.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
