Join us on January 10th for a day of action at the state legislature.
Think our judges should be fair, independent, and removed from politics?
Unfortunately, politicians in Raleigh disagree. Top state lawmakers are trying to gain partisan control over the courts and rig the system in their favor. First, they canceled primary elections for judges, and now the politicians are planning to return in January 2018 to cancel judicial elections altogether and simply appoint their political friends to fill the bench and tilt the scales of justice in their favor.
It’s outrageous and it’s time to hold them accountable. The NCGA will be back in session on January 10th and we’ll be there along with partners from the North Carolina NAACP, North Carolina Voters For Clean Elections, and Progress NC.
