Fix Our Democracy!
Issues of transparency, good governance practices, and access have plagued the General Assembly in recent years. In February 2021, fifty-two NC organizations called on the General Assembly leadership to adopt practices and policies that ensure open and transparent committee meetings, full public access to legislative documents, and sufficient public notice of legislative activities.
Join us to learn more about the history these concerns are based on and steps our legislators are taking to create better governance and access within the General Assembly.
