The NC Progressive House Caucus is a caucus of state legislators committed to promoting a legislative agenda focused on equality, liberty, justice, and safety for all people in our state. We fight for a North Carolina that is by the people and for the people.
The average North Carolinian has been left behind while the rich continue to get richer. Corporations pay less in taxes, and you bear the cost. We support raising the minimum wage, safe workplaces, allowing workers to organize and engage in collective bargaining, and equal pay for equal work.
We believe in the Constitutional promise of a sound, basic education for every child. We support fully funding our public schools to ensure all students, regardless of background or zip code, have access to high-quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential. We believe your public tax dollars should remain in public schools.
A healthy future is dependent on a healthy environment. We prioritize environmental protection and a smooth transition to clean energy. We oppose rollbacks to laws and regulations that exacerbate climate change We believe polluters must be held accountable for poison our water, land, and air.
Our justice system is in need of reform. We support common sense gun legislation that keeps our communities and our children safe. We support a criminal justice system that provides safety, security, and justice for all. We believe in a justice system focused on rehabilitation, second chances, and dismantling systems of oppression.
The people should choose their politicians. The politicians should not choose their people. We support an independent, citizen led redistricting process with statewide representation to reverse our gerrymandered maps. We will work to protect and advance voting rights. We support a truly democratic system free from corruption.
No one should have to choose between food on the table or a hospital visit. North Carolina was the 40th state to expand Medicaid, and there is still more to do. We support policies that make healthcare more affordable. We will work to expand our healthcare workforce, increase mental health services, and provide maternal care.
We defend the fundamental right of individuals to make their own healthcare decisions, including access to safe and legal abortion and family planning resources. We are opposed to any policy that attempts to put politicians between people and their healthcare providers.
We believe the constitutional principles of liberty and justice apply to all of us. Everyone deserves equal protection under the law. We fight to dismantle barriers that deny equal opportunity and equal treatment. We support investing in communities that have historically been marginalized. We support strengthening hate crime legislation to fight the rise in violence motivated by sexual orientation, religion, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sex etc.
Immigrants contribute to our culture, our economy, and our public institutions. We believe that everyone, including immigrants, have access to constitutional protections. We support expanding legal pathways for citizenship and opportunities for legal immigrants in our state.
