Nancy Pelosi is right, it's all about healthcare

We can win back the House if that's our focus.

Don't get sucked in to
all the other bullshit!

We win by focusing on health, health care, public health

Spread those messages at least once a day

If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

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
