Senate Bill 58 would limit the NC Attorney General’s ability to protect our rights shifting power away from the people. This bill weakens checks and balances and makes it harder to hold executive power accountable. Tell your lawmakers: Vote NO on SB 58 🗣 #ncpol #ncga Take action @ demnc.co/sb58

"Unlike many members in the #NCGA, who were elected in gerrymandered districts, the current Attorney General was duly elected and the candidate of choice of voters. This is not fear mongering - the best interest of North Carolinians is to leave the powers of the AG alone." #sb58 #ncpol

"The importance of the Attorney General’s office is particularly evident in times of crisis, such as during a public health emergency or natural disaster. North Carolina is no stranger to either of these scenarios." Katelin Kaiser, Policy Director for Democracy North Carolina #ncpol

Senator Dan Blue "You raise issues of constitutionality in restricting the AG. This bill restricts basic amendment rights to have grievances in this authoritative position... it would still be protected by the first amendment." #ncpol

"What happens when the #NCGA takes issue with an Executive Order?" This is a critical question as SB 58 would prohibit the Attorney General from taking legal action or providing crucial legal advice on executive orders without first gaining approval from the General Assembly #ncpol

New bill just dropped that would CRIMINALIZE voter registration. Yup.. you read that right 🤯 HB127 would make it a misdemeanor for individuals, non-profits, etc. to use traditional voter registrations forms. Voter reg is NOT a crime. So were making sure lawmakers stop this bad bill #ncga #ncpol

We're #done with X, btw. 🚨 A coalition of groups, including Democracy North Carolina, are officially leaving the platform due to its role in spreading hate speech, disinformation, and extremism. Under Elon Musk's leadership, X has allowed dangerous ideologies to thrive unchecked.

SHAME!! Senate Bill 382 officially passes stripping powers from incoming executive branch members, burdening election officials with unreasonable administrative timelines, and undermining the will of the people in North Carolina. This fight isn’t over. Stay connected and ready 📣📣 #ncpol
