Guns    LGBTQ+  Minorities


We’ve had enough. The North Carolina General Assembly must cease and desist from their immoral attacks on democracy. They must cease and desist from deadly policy violence towards poor and low-wealth people of North Carolina.

 

We are issuing a cease and desist letter to the General Assembly outlining our demands, and are reaching out to ask for your help.

 

We must ensure that this letter gets to General Assembly leadership: Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger, Speaker Tim Moore, House Democratic Leader Robert Reives II, and Minority Leader of the NC Senate Dan Blue.

 

Will you join thousands of fellow North Carolinians in signing this letter?
