Why This Townhall Matters

Washington politicians have passed what many are calling a broken budget—a harmful spending plan that raises costs for everyday people while stripping away essential resources. This bill threatens health care access for working families, takes funding away from our public schools, and hands out massive tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

For families already facing difficult choices, this budget could mean the difference between putting food on the table or paying skyrocketing energy bills. That’s why our community is coming together to make our voices heard.

The Broken Budget Townhall Tour

The Broken Budget Townhall Tour is a grassroots movement to hold politicians accountable for policies that harm our communities. This event in Raleigh is part of a statewide effort to stand up against cuts that put working families, students, and communities at risk.

You’ll hear directly from community leaders, educators, and advocates about the real-life impact of this budget—and what we can do to fight back.

Featured Speaker: Ernestine Ledbetter

We’re proud to feature Ernestine Ledbetter, an Organizing Committee member who has been a strong voice for justice and equity in our state. Alongside Ernestine, other community voices from across North Carolina will share their experiences and solutions for building a fairer future.
