Fully Support NC\u2019s Homeless Veterans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On any given night in 2020, over 37,000 veterans were homeless and 15,000 remained unsheltered in\u00a0the US. Disabled veterans account for about 50% of people who are homeless.\u00a0It is a sad fact that even NC, which calls itself a \u201cmilitary-friendly\u201d state, is twelfth nationally for the highest rate of\u00a0homelessness among veterans.

Therefore<\/strong>,\u00a0We the undersigned urge Governor Cooper and the NC General Assembly to increase housing, health care, and employment\u00a0resources to help all our homeless veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect Voting Rights in NC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Text: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To: House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting is our most fundamental right as Americans and as North Carolinians, and it must not be infringed upon.\u00a0 We oppose any effort to enact unfair barriers to voting–especially following the record-breaking voter turnout North Carolina had in 2020–and support free, fair and transparent elections.
\u00a0
As the General Assembly considers legislation during its 2021 legislative session, Common Cause NC and North Carolinians across the state urge you to promote policies that expand access to the ballot box and ensure all voters have equal access to the polls, including a full early voting period with weekend voting, same-day voter registration and maintaining the vote by mail procedures that were in place in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
