What’s on the Ballot
OUR communities. OUR issues. OUR future. It’s time to bring politics #CloserToThePeople. Your vote brings politics back to what matters – us. Be the change you want to see. Learn how your vote impacts OUR daily lives and let’s make politics work for us!
State Judges & Justices
NC COURT OF APPEALS + SUPREME COURT: The state’s highest courts hold the governor and legislature accountable. They make big decisions on issues from redistricting to death penalty appeals. They are the final word on what is “constitutional” and other interpretations of state laws.
State Legislature
NC SENATE + NC HOUSE: The two chambers of the N.C. General Assembly hold the power to draft state laws on anything they choose. They can enact criminal justice reform, draw our voting maps, and decide how North Carolinians receive health care. They also use our taxpayer dollars to set the state budget, including resources for everything from roads to schools.
District Attorney
They serve as the chief law enforcer for your community. They have the power to investigate, prosecute, and take issues to trial. An example of the power of a District Attorney would be in the recent cases pertaining to the harm or “unaliving “ of unarmed Black Men and Women in various cities across the country, including cities such as Raleigh, NC.
CONGRESS
U.S. SENATE + U.S. HOUSE: With the ability to make U.S. law and oversee federal agencies, congressional powers include spending our tax dollars, taking the country to war, deciding who gets healthcare and environmental protections, and when to hold the president accountable — from appointments to impeachments.
