La resolución impulsada por el concejal Eduardo Herrera-Picasso fue aprobada con una votación de 4-2 y reafirma el compromiso de proteger a todos los residentes contra registros y detenciones irrazonables, además de oponerse a acciones ilegales por parte de ICE.

More than 200,000 North Carolinians have lost Affordable Care Act coverage this year, the largest enrollment decline in the country. Rising premiums and the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies have made health insurance unaffordable for many families who previously relied on marketplace plans.

SB 1084 would cut the early voting period by an entire week, limiting North Carolinians to seven fewer days to express their constitutional right to vote. Under current law, early voting runs from the third Thursday before election day. The bill, if passed, would move the start of early voting to the second Thursday for all elections.

Stacy Staggs’ twin daughters, Emma and Sara, were born 12 years ago at just 27 weeks and 4 days. Since that day, Emma has required virtually around-the-clock care to survive, and without a Medicaid waiver program, there’s no way the family could pay for her care.

“People want to live and work here, but we simply do not have enough homes to meet that growing demand,” Stein said. “Housing is the single biggest expense that most families face, so if somebody’s rent or mortgage takes up too much of their monthly paycheck, that means that they have that much less to spend on other essentials.”

Jóvenes en todo el estado describieron cómo enfrentan deudas estudiantiles crecientes, inestabilidad financiera y menos oportunidades, a pesar de haber hecho todo lo que les dijeron que debían hacer para alcanzar el éxito.

Voters are focused on lowering costs and economic stability, and Cooper’s message is gaining traction as many North Carolinians reconsider Republican leadership.

“People want to live and work here, but we simply do not have enough homes to meet that growing demand,” Stein said. “Housing is the single biggest expense that most families face, so if somebody’s rent or mortgage takes up too much of their monthly paycheck, that means that they have that much less to spend on other essentials.”

Las juezas en desacuerdo advirtieron que limitar el papel de los tribunales debilita la protección de los derechos educativos, mientras que otro juez disidente consideró que el caso no debía invalidarse por razones procesales.

As North Carolina heads toward a competitive 2026 election cycle, the outcome of this policy shift may have far-reaching consequences.

Key measures of Stein’s budget include raising starting teacher pay to the highest in the Southeast, providing meaningful tax relief to working families, and investing in public safety, education, child care, workforce development, and health care.

There is an affordability crisis in North Carolina, and Duke Energy is making it worse. North Carolinians should not have to choose between putting food on the table and paying their high utility bill due to rate hikes.

Mientras el proyecto avanza hacia su votación final, el debate continúa centrado en una pregunta clave: si es posible proteger el acceso a la salud sin comprometer la seguridad y estabilidad de las familias inmigrantes en Carolina del Norte.

“Reliable high-speed internet opens doors of opportunity, helps businesses grow, connects people with health care, and strengthens our economy,” said Stein. “These new projects will move us ever closer to connecting every household and community in the state with broadband.”
