The State Senate wants to give $13.9 BILLION in tax breaks to
corporations and only give state employees a 1.5% raise! Half a million people have no health insurance in NC amid a pandemic. Tens of thousands stand to get evicted when the moratorium is lifted this month. It’s time to say “Enough is Enough!”
We join together with other workers, unions, faith and community groups to demand a People's Budget! #PeoplesBudgetNC
Join UE150 and the NC United for Survival and Beyond Coalition (which includes Fight for $15 and others) in our fight for a People's Budget for a mass rally at the NC General Assembly. We will be fighting for:
- $15 per hour min. wage for ALL workers in NC
- Real raises for ALL state employees ( many are essential workers)
- Safe staffing in Dept. of Health & Human Services hospitals and facilities
- Make the wealthy corporations pay their fair share of taxes /NOT TAX CUTS
- Expand Medicaid for the uninsured
- Rental assistance for those in need
- Funding for quality healthcare, housing, public education and all public services!
Gather at Governor Cooper’s mansion (200 N. Blount Street) &
March to NC Legislative Building (16 W. Jones Street)
