Innocence -
The NC GOP’s $66 billion budget doesn’t just betray teachers and families—it actively punishes the innocent. In a move as cruel as it is calculated, Republicans are defunding the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, the watchdog that has helped free 16 wrongfully convicted people—like Clarence Roberts, who walked free after 12 years behind bars the very same day this budget dropped. Why? Because the Commission’s $1.6 million price tag—just 0.002% of the total budget—is somehow “too rich” for Sen. Phil Berger’s blood. Yet there’s room for $2 million to fund a pointless “NC Drone Innovation Lab” built for tech-bro fantasies, and another $5 million to pad security at their swanky VIP events. Bowing to prosecutor and police lobbies who feel threatened by real accountability, Republicans are choosing pet projects over true justice. Governor Josh Stein and Senator Sydney Batch aren’t backing down. They’re fighting to keep this vital safeguard alive—and calling on the House to do what the Senate refused to: stand up for real justice.
Teacher Appreciation
This is a good time to honor the educators who are the backbone of our communities. They shape the next generation, support our families, and build our future, even as they face underfunded classrooms and shrinking paychecks. This year, it's about more than appreciation. It's about action. Once again, North Carolina Senate Republicans have failed to meet the moment. Their 2025 budget offers teachers just a 3.3% raise—nowhere near enough to retain experienced educators or recruit the next generation. Our teachers deserve better—and so do our students. This isn't just a local issue, Republicans across the country are pushing dangerous efforts to defund public schools, divert resources to private interests, and erode trust in public education itself. We believe public education is a promise worth keeping. That’s why we must keep fighting for real investments in teacher pay, classroom resources, and student success—because strong schools build strong communities. This week, and every week, we stand with our educators—and it's time we elect leaders who will too.
N.C. Farmers
Donald's tariff tantrum is hurting North Carolina’s farmers, while Thom Tillis sits back twiddling his thumbs. Donald's tariffs are gutting North Carolina's economy—soybeans, pork, and everything in between. A new Meredith College poll shows nearly half of North Carolinians know these tariffs are hiking up their bills, meanwhile Tillis continues to back Trump’s economic dumpster fire. Prices for seeds and equipment are soaring, farms are one bad crop from bankruptcy, and our rural communities—still recovering from Hurricane Helene—are getting sold out for MAGA applause lines. Republicans have turned their backs on the people who feed this state and abroad. Democrats are fighting for fair trade, real relief, and policies that actually help rural North Carolina. In 2026, let’s send Tillis packing and elect leaders who’ll put NC farmers first—not Trump’s fragile ego.
