When the on-campus early voting site at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro was removed for the primary election, our UNCG Campus Fellows didn’t sit back. They stepped up! On Saturday, Feb 28th, they organized a Walk to the Polls for the last day of early voting. It took over 30 minutes from campus to walk to their nearest location, but every step was worth it. We're grateful for their dedication to making their voice heard. Our lawmakers shouldn't be making voting harder for NC residents. #WalkToThePolls #EarlyVoting #UNCG

SIGN OUR PETITION (link in bio!): Reject Duke's Rate Hike Request! Duke Energy reported $5 billion in profits yesterday. They are currently pushing to raise energy bills in NC by 18%.

Duke Energy and Amazon are attempting to sidestep clean air standards for a massive new data center in Richmond Co, North Carolina that would include over 600 polluting diesel generators. If this project is approved, it could make it easier for future large-scale data centers to sidestep important environmental protections. Sign our petition urging the NC Division of Air Quality (DAQ) to reject this proposal! Link in bio.
