Join students, workers, and others on Monday, April 23 at 11 A.M. in front of the North Carolina General Assembly building on Jones Street in Raleigh for our second statewide Rein Them In rally.
Worried that public opinion has turned against the out-of-control policy priorities of the North Carolina General Assembly, right-wing political groups are spending big money on high-priced TV ads and a bizarre “billboard tour” trying to claim that conservative state legislative leaders did not cut education funding this year.
The second leg of our “Out of Control in Raleigh” tour continues with stops in Wilmington (3/28) and in Greensboro (4/5), where we will continue to expose the extremist agenda gripping our state legislature.
For the second leg of the tour, we will continue to expose the extremist agenda gripping our state legislature with stops in Greenville, Charlotte, and Wilmington.
After our Rein Them In rally ahead of an expensive, do-nothing “special” session of the North Carolina General Assembly on Thursday, Feb. 16, about 50-70 people filed into the building to deliver messages printed on a simple sheet of paper to Speaker Thom Tillis. What happened next was another example of how out of control our state legislature has gotten.
About 60 union members and community activists showed up at Gaston Community College in Belmont, NC to welcome North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis to another of his “Divide & Conquer” town halls. It was Tillis’ first town hall appearance since holding a surprise midnight session of the General Assembly on January 5 to strip teachers of their rights.
North Carolina’s legislature is out of control, and it’s time to speak out and push back. Join us at a public forum about how these hard-line conservatives are turning back the clock, who’s bankrolling their agenda, and what it means for our lives.
