UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour, September 27th at 11:00 - Tell the Legislature to Vote NO on HB 10 Veto Override. Last week, Governor Cooper vetoed HB 10, a bill that would make our communities less safe, increase fear in immigrant communities and undermine democratically elected sheriffs. And, at a time when public schools in our state remain severely underfunded, HB 10 includes a $554 million expansion of private school vouchers. This week, we will be joined by Maria Lopez Gonzalez, Public Policy Advocate at the NC Budget & Tax Center. She will provide a briefing on HB 10, and then put us to work, calling key elected officials who could determine whether the General Assembly successfully overrides the Governor's veto. Review this week's resources and actions on our Google Doc, and Join via this Zoom Link.
