UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour, February 14th at 11:00am. Loving Our Children through School Board Advocacy. In North Carolina and across the country, school boards make important decisions that are vital to the wellbeing of our children. Unfortunately, many school boards are advancing a White Christian Nationalist agenda by banning books, attacking trans youth, removing DEI from curricula, and passing harmful disciplinary policies. This week we'll be joined by Peter Rawitch, co-founder of Love Our Children, an education advocacy organization based in Wilmington, NC. Peter will equip us with the tools and knowledge to love our children through local school board advocacy. Review this week's resources and actions on our Google Doc, and Join via this Zoom Link.

UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour, February 7th at 11:00am. The Fight to Protect Medicaid Expansion. This week, Congressional leaders are negotiating a budget resolution, and North Carolina is at serious risk of losing Medicaid Expansion. In 2023, we finally won the expansion of Medicaid for over 600,000 people in our state, and we cannot let politicians in Washington take it away. This week, we'll be joined by Rebecca Cerese, Health Policy Advocate with the NC Justice Center. She will talk to us about the national week of action to protect Medicaid Expansion. Then, we will get on the phones calling our Federal elected officials. Review this week's resources and actions on our Google Doc, and Join via this Zoom Link.
