In North Carolina, no kings means no gerrymanders.

Our districts belong to the people, not politicians.

The Insurrection Act Explained

The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

Across race and party, Americans value freedom. A MAGA power bloc serving billionaires is occupying communities, using police/military on families and weaponizing government to seize power. Families unite to Free America and demand leaders stop this assault on our freedoms, families, and future now.

From Raleigh to DC, these attacks are all connected and are part of a coordinated attempt to weaken democracy. But the people of NC — and USA — will not let our voices be silenced. We will defend the right to vote, the court's independence, and the checks and balances that make our democracy strong.

Trump is using the oldest authoritarian playbook: declare a false crisis, spread lies, then use it to grab power.North Carolina Republicans are doing the same — trying to rig maps, strip powers, and suppress votes because they fear losing fair election.

Trump and North Carolina Republicans are manufacturing chaos to seize permanent power. That’s not democracy — that’s dictatorship. The American people want safe, fair, and accessible elections — not fear, intimidation, and endless hurdles.

Together, these moves are part of the same authoritarian agenda: declare a false crisis, spread fear, and seize more power at the expense of the people.

Nationally, Trump has announced he will sign an Executive Order to eliminate vote-by-mail, replace voting machines with federally approved ones, and impose federal oversight of state elections. This is not reform — it’s an attempted hostile takeover of secure elections.

Republicans tried to steal Justice Riggs’s election, gerrymandered maps to entrench minority rule, stripped powers from Gov, and launched several attacks on judicial independence. Now, HB958 is their latest voter suppression attempt, aimed at making it harder for NCians to register and vote.

What we are seeing is not a series of isolated power grabs. It’s a coordinated attack on democracy — from Washington to Raleigh — designed to silence voters and dismantle the checks and balances that keep politicians accountable.

So HB 958 bans children from the military who have not yet lived in the US from voting in state elections #ncga #ncpol

Rep. Harrison - HB 958 bans foreign nationals from influencing our elections—which is good policy. But how can we enforce that, when SB 416 just expanded dark money loopholes, making it even easier for foreign actors to pour money into our elex #ncpol #ncga

SB 416 - Baffilling - how can anyone ignore legal defense issue. It's the screaming headline. How do you not think the legal defense fund is not a problem? #ncpol #ncga

N.C. For The People Action @ncftpaction.bsky.social · Jul 29

SB 416 would've allowed secret money to shape public policy. That’s not “privacy”—that’s corruption.
Uphold @NC_Governor's veto. #DemocracyDefense #NCPOL #ncga

🚫 SB 416 = Dark Money Disaster
✅ Veto = Democracy Defended
Now let’s make it final — Uphold the veto and keep NC elections transparent. #StopSB416 #NCPOL #NoToDarkMoney #ncga

SB 416 Voters have the right to know who’s influencing elections and policies. Senate Bill 416 does the opposite—it shields secret donors and enables corruption. #ncga #ncpol

SB 266 - Duke Energy bill is up in the NC House. Removes the carbon reduction goal, reinstates the ability to charge you to build their power plants, and jacks up your energy rates. Oh yeah, and climate change kills #ncpol #ncga

HB 549 is a power grab is ripe for political abuse and will chill participation in public programs, especially by vulnerable communities. #ncga #ncpol

N.C. For The People Action @ncftpaction.bsky.social · Jul 29

NC GOP has controlled NC's budget for over a decade. If there’s waste or fraud, it’s on their watch. Now, they want to pretend HB 549 is to fight “big gov't” while handing sweeping authority to one partisan office #ncpol #ncga

HB 549 is a blatant attempt to give one political figure unilateral power to reshape state government under partisan priorities. #ncga #ncpol
