Durante el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, mujeres latinas de todo Carolina del Norte se reunieron el jueves por la mañana frente a la Asamblea General estatal para llamar la atención sobre las consecuencias reales de recientes decisiones de política federal y recortes presupuestarios que están afectando a las familias trabajadoras.
“North Carolinians have already paid billions in unlawful tariffs – our farmers, our manufacturers, and our communities can’t bear more,” Jackson said in a press release. “I’m taking the federal government to court because they broke the law again, they harmed North Carolinians, and I can prove it.”
About 600,000 children in our state rely on federal food assistance programs such as SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The grants include $24 million for mitigation projects and $16 million for volunteer rebuilding efforts, in order to help the region with long-term recovery efforts and help communities there better withstand future natural disasters.
For many North Carolinians, the most common forms of identification won’t qualify. Even the Real ID driver’s licenses that residents have spent years obtaining wouldn’t work because North Carolina licenses don’t list citizenship status.
“Whatley has already profited from policy decisions he championed, eroding what little trust people already have in Washington politicians,” Cooper said. “I believe candidates must earn the trust of North Carolinians.”
Advocates say The Cost We Carry Storybook is meant to force lawmakers to confront the human cost of their inaction. As Johnson put it, “This report is about making sure our state lawmakers hear directly from hard-working North Carolinians — and start serving people, not greedy corporations.”
Seventy of North Carolina’s seventy-eight rural counties are considered medical deserts due to a shortage of primary care providers. And while 33% of the state’s population lives in rural areas, only 12% of physicians in the state practice there. Twenty counties in the state don’t have a single pediatrician, while another twenty don’t have a hospital.
With utilities giant Duke Energy demanding yet another rate hike despite making billions in profits, it’s worth noting that there are other electricity providers in North Carolina. In fact, there are 26 not-for-profit electric cooperatives providing electricity to 2.8 million North Carolinians across 93 counties in the state.
Las autoridades de Carolina del Norte han aprobado importantes aumentos en las primas de los seguros de salud del Affordable Care Act (ACA), dejando a muchos residentes con un inesperado “choque de etiquetas”. Estos incrementos aplican antes de los subsidios federales, que actualmente están en el centro de un estancamiento político a nivel nacional.
Regardless of Whatley’s acceptance or denial of the “recovery czar” label, Trump handed him power over the recovery efforts, and in August, Smoky Mountain News reported that residents of Western North Carolina said Whatley had “rarely, if ever” visited the area.
Since ACA tax credits expired at the beginning of the year, North Carolina has seen a 22% drop in enrollment in the healthcare marketplace, and premiums have increased by a whopping 114%.
“When people in crisis do not get help in time, the consequences can be tragic,” Gov. Stein stated during the order’s announcement. The order points to a number of high-profile cases where lives were lost at the hands of individuals with complicated mental health histories.
La Cámara de Representantes aprobó la Ley SAVE America, un proyecto de reforma electoral que impondría nuevos requisitos para registrarse y votar. La medida exigiría prueba de ciudadanía al momento del registro, identificación con fotografía para votar y una copia de identificación para las boletas enviadas por correo.
