On Wednesday, November 13th, the NCGA has the opportunity to make a choice.

Will they provide adequate funding for public education?

Or will they continue to starve our schools while providing tax cuts for wealthy corporations?

North Carolina’s educators and families are ready for action. We’re emboldened by the unity of educators and communities in Los Angeles and Chicago. We’re inspired by the electoral wins of our neighbors in Virginia and Kentucky. Those victories were the result of years of sustained organizing and strategic action. Let’s take this next step together, for our students and for each other.

Please take action to demand that the NCGA passes a budget that will meet the needs of our students, schools and communities.

Once you have signed this petition, we ask that you set a goal of getting 75% of your co-workers to sign it. Our numbers are our power – when the majority of our school employees act together, we represent a major political force. You can also use the print version of this petition and then enter your signatures here. Join our webinar November 11 or contact info@organize2020.org for support!
