ICYMI: Catch my podcast interview on The Hometown Holler where I discuss how NC Republicans have executed a plan over the last decade to hurt our public schools so they can claim they are failing and use your taxpayer money to pay for private school vouchers. #nced #ncpol 🎙️

'[T]hese 'crisis pregnancy centers' are unlicensed, largely unregulated and routinely do not employ licensed medical professionals,' writes state Rep. @JulieforNC.

Republicans are stealing the future from 1.3 million children. Good schools are for every child, not just white children from well-to-do families. talkingaboutpolitics.com/the-70-year-wa… #ncpol #nced

The next time anyone tells you we have a surplus, remember: we have less money this year than we had at this point last year. State vacancies are rising, infrastructure needs are piling up, counties are being left behind, and the GOP is driving us off a fiscal cliff. #ncpol

Thanks to Diaper Bank of NC for their work to supply products to NC schools and to Alliance for Period Supplies for their support. Period supplies ARE school supplies! Period Equity PERIOD.

Basic dignity and health care are not luxuries; they are fundamental rights. No one should have to skip school because they cannot afford period products. We held a press conference yesterday to mark Period Poverty Awareness Week with advocates from the Period Power Coalition!

Today, Rep. Rep. Julie von Haefen held a press conference with advocates about Period Poverty.

NC has a luxury tax on menstrual products. They’re not luxurious - they’re essential for students to learn and adults to work.

So Rep. Julie von Haefen filed HB 622, the Menstrual Equity for All Act
