John, we knew the NC GOP is fueled by hatred and lies. But they just took their racism one step forward. Just look at the atrocious tweet they sent about our rally last week ↘↘

Let’s get one thing clear: Racism has NO home in North Carolina.

Instead of working towards building a brighter future for all North Carolinians, the NC GOP is spreading racialized insults AND dismissing the real work Democrats are doing to address the issue of low wages. That is unacceptable.

John, just last week, I was proud to join Bernie Sanders and other NC Democrats at a rally fighting for raising the minimum wage – the very rally the NC GOP criticized. No attacks from the GOP will ever make me feel less proud of standing up for all communities across North Carolina.

Because the truth is that every day, low wage workers from all communities are living paycheck to paycheck. And the high costs of living and lack of healthcare are not helping ease the burden black and brown communities face.

That’s why I’m bringing the fight to the frontlines. We need to raise the minimum wage so low wage workers can live comfortably, not paycheck to paycheck. But with the racist NC GOP determined to block every piece of pro-worker legislation, it’s up to us to counter their attacks.

Together,

Nida Allam
