🧵 I am beyond disappointed and angry with the #RoevWade decision. I am proud to be a pro-choice legislator and am ready for the fight ahead to advocate for the right to an abortion because abortion is healthcare. #AbortionIsEssential #ncpol Image
Important: Abortion is STILL LEGAL in states across the country, including North Carolina.

Now, more than ever, we must ensure we have pro-choice champions in our state legislature who will be strong advocates for the right to choose. Follow @LilliansList @VoteChoice @emilyslist Image
I am proud to be an outspoken leader for reproductive rights in the North Carolina House. I have filed several proactive pieces of legislation to protect the right to abortion in our state. But, In NC, we are at the razor's edge for abortion access. #ncpol #BansOffOurBodies Image
The stakes are high. If we lose three seats in the NC House, the GOP will have the ability to override vetoes & pass abortion restrictions into law.

Let me be clear- we will not go back. Help me fight by donating to my campaign today. It’s up to us.

🧵 Many people have asked me “what EXACTLY needs to be done in NC to preserve abortion rights?”

Here’s my answer:
➡️ NC House has 120 seats.
Dems have 51 of them.
We broke the Republican supermajority in 2018 & now we can uphold vetoes. We’ve done that over 40 times since then.
➡️ NC Senate has 50 seats.
Dems have 22 of them.

To hold our numbers and preserve the ability to sustain Governor Cooper’s vetoes of bad bills, we to keep all 51 House & 22 Senate seats. 💪

If we lose 3 House seats & 2 in the Senate, we will slip back into the superminority. 😔
If Republicans gain back the supermajority, they can pass ANY law they want, including an outright ban on abortions in NC. 😡

So, how can you help us hold our numbers in the General Assembly & even elect more pro-choice candidates? 🤷‍♀️

Today, I filed the #RBG Act to remove barriers to accessing abortion care in North Carolina. Our state has the fourth-highest number of restrictions in the country. These barriers serve no medical purpose. Instead, they interfere in decisions about whether & when to have a child.
The #RBG Act will expand access to healthcare, which is especially important during a pandemic. The public health crisis has limited access dramatically at a time when family planning is more important than ever for many people. #ReproductiveRights
As #RBG stated, the decision to have a child is personal. "...when the government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a full adult human responsible for her own choices." We must allow women to make their own decisions, free from interference. #ncpol

🧵Right now, North Carolina Republicans are having a closed-door meeting on our unemployment system -- without a single House Democrat in the room. Since they refused to put a Democrat on the committee from the NC House, here’s the truth about unemployment:
North Carolina “Republicans made the deepest cuts to any unemployment insurance system in the country” -- and now we are ranked dead last in the amount of benefits folks get. Now they are in a closed-door meeting trying to fix the system they broke.
Thanks to #NCGA Republicans, our state is ranked 45th in the country for length of unemployment benefits -- we need to extend the amount of time folks out of work through no fault of their own get help.

@NCHouseSpeaker just stated in session that today’s Redistricting Committee Meeting (which was supposed to start at 9 am) is the only opportunity for in person public comment on the final NC House maps. However, the maps have not been posted yet & no one knew this until now. 🤷‍♀️
@RepDavidRLewis states 2 minutes per Speaker & new maps are just now being distributed. As you can see, not many members of the public are here.

The hearing is starting and no one has signed up. #ncpol
