La Corte Suprema de Carolina del Norte es el tribunal más alto del estado y es la última instancia en temas de ley estatal, lo que significa que sus decisiones no pueden apelarse dentro del sistema judicial estatal. En un momento clave para muchas comunidades, entender cómo funciona es fundamental, ya que sus fallos pueden tener un impacto directo en la vida cotidiana. A diferencia de otros tribunales, la Corte Suprema no cuenta con jurado y se enfoca en escuchar argumentos orales de casos apelados desde tribunales inferiores.
When we are counting pennies, fearing layoffs or looking for work, watching crops die, or bills pile up, we often retreat and retrench, close others out. But to stare this down, to build the change we need, there’s no way we can do this but together.
La Asamblea General de Carolina del Norte regresa a Raleigh la próxima semana para su sesión corta, aunque de “corta” puede tener poco. Hay muchos temas pendientes del año pasado y bastante tensión política en el aire. Entre presupuestos atrasados, elecciones acercándose y cambios dentro del propio liderazgo, todo apunta a que estas semanas serán movidas.
Despite repeated pleas from North Carolina Governor Josh Stein to pass a much-needed budget, Republican leaders House Speaker Destin Hall and Senate leader Phil Berger have been in a standoff over budget proposals, leaving state agencies, state workers, teachers, students, and residents facing rising costs.

Este tipo de eventos no solo ayudan a entender cómo funciona el gobierno, sino que también crean oportunidades reales para que las comunidades participen, se hagan escuchar y formen parte de las decisiones que impactan sus vidas.
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%.
This year, over thirty states will hold elections for Supreme Court seats. For North Carolina, the stakes are especially high for the upcoming judicial elections, as concerns around public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary are ever-growing.
North Carolina was forced to pay nearly $3.5 billion in tariffs since President Trump took office, while the farming industry and rural economy are expected to lose about $1.9 billion and 8,000 jobs. North Carolina households are expected to pay about $800 to $1,300 this year as a result of tariffs.
“Our kids deserve better. A surprise cut of nearly $50 million from rural schools, with virtually no notice and no allegation of misuse, is unlawful and harmful, the Department of Education approved these programs, allowed schools to build them, and now it’s trying to pull the rug out from under dozens of rural communities,” said AG Jeff Jackson.
It’s disgraceful for a Supreme Court candidate to cozy up to a convicted predator in order to further her own ambitions. And it’s a betrayal of public trust.
