NC lawmakers have introduced a bill in the House and one in the Senate that would repeal North Carolina’s current concealed carry permit law, which prevents people as young as 18 from carrying a hidden loaded weapon in public with no training and no background check. If the repeal passes, anyone in North Carolina as young as 18 will be allowed to carry a loaded, hidden handgun in our communities and neighborhoods with no training and without undergoing a background check.
We need your help! A NC bill has been introduced that would guarantee employees the right to use their sick days (whether paid or job-protected, unpaid) to care for a sick loved one, seek preventative care, or deal with the physical, mental, or legal impacts of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. The KinCare and Safe Days Act (H875) would be game-changing for so many families, but in order for it to keep moving forward it has to pass out of the NC House this week. Can you send a quick email to your representative right now letting them know it’s critical that they pass Kincare and Safe Days? They need to hear from you!
Did you know that in NC we currently have a policy that will have corporations paying ZERO in state income tax by 2030? ZERO?!? Tell NC lawmakers to pause the cuts and use that $2 billion/yr to invest in what families need.
Would you want someone as young as 18 years old to be allowed to carry a loaded, hidden handgun in our communities, and neighborhoods without undergoing a background check? We certainly don’t! That is why we must make sure that Concealed Carry Permitting is never repealed. Tell your NC lawmakers to vote NO on HB5/SB50, which would repeal Concealed Carry Permitting and put us in harm’s way!
