North Carolina is now the southernmost state in the Southeast to offer safe, legal access to reproductive health care and, in the years to come, will likely support thousands of women across the South in need of reproductive services.
But continued reproductive health care—like many issues that affect the lives of everyday working people in NC—comes down to which party controls the legislature in 2022 and beyond. Right now, Republicans are perilously close to a supermajority that can override Gov Cooper's veto.
This month, Lean Left is supporting two grassroots organizations that are engaging with and mobilizing rural black voters in North Carolina. Our dollars will go to support their electoral efforts in an area they have identified as key to turning out votes for Democratic candidates: northeastern NC.
- Advance Carolina engages with voters young and old and inspires them to become activists within their communities. Their impressive voter protection program combats intimidation, voter suppression, misinformation, and more to ensure that every voter can safely cast their ballot.
- NC A. Philip Randolph Educational Fund, the state chapter of a labor-affiliated national program, builds relationships year-round in order to encourage and expand black political activity. They lead the way in registering, educating, supporting and mobilizing rural black voters.
Together, these organizations connect deeply with rural voters and mobilize them to vote for candidates that will represent their interests.
