In a recent interview with Kate Daley, Health Justice Campaigner for Down Home, we explore the significance of Medicaid expansion and its impact on the healthcare system in North Carolina.

Launched in 2023, the grassroots, local-led Public School Strong has grown to more than half our state.

Nick is joining our growing team as our Eastern Regional Organizer Based in Vance County, bringing a wealth of organizing experience with him. We’re so stoked to have Nick on board, ready to build multi-racial working-class power in Vance!
