  • The OBBB and North Carolina

    The OBBB contains provisions that will harm millions of North Carolinians and numerous sectors of our economy. While the effects of this bill were enough to lead Senator Tillis to flip (and now retire), every House Republican voted for this bill. Often, we view what goes on in Washington as detached from our lives here at home, but the effects of this bill will be felt at kitchen tables, in hospitals, and bank accounts all across the state. It’s on us to make sure that the lawmakers who voted for it, including every House Republican from North Carolina, feel what we feel, too.

  • A Big, Bad, Very Ugly Bill

    The legislation is, first and foremost, a tax cut.

    To pay for these tax cuts for rich people, the bill destabilizes the American medical system, guts anti-hunger programs, hikes utility costs, and makes education more expensive.
