Safety, Accountability, Fairness, Ethics Coalition (SAFE)

SAFE Coalition NC has been fighting to bring about municipal & legislative change in the areas of police accountability & Criminal Justice Reform.

Grow the Vote

Our goal is to build grassroots political power by increasing the number of registered voters in minority and low-wealth communities and increasing the number of these voters who participate in the election process. These voters and communities matter, and they are more than just a pawn in the political game. They wield great power, and the more who vote, the greater that power can become.

Líderes en Acción

Líderes en Acción has been leading the fight for immigrant justice in North Carolina. Líderes en Acción keeps winning because its grassroots leaders are the same families that are impacted by our broken immigration system. They empower themselves and their community, through leadership development, and by encouraging others to advocate for themselves, through lobbying and direct action. 

Líderes en Acción ha estado liderando la lucha pro la justicia para inmigrantes en Carolina del Norte. Líderes en Acción sigue ganando, porque sus líderes comunitarios son las mismas familias impactadas por nuestro sistema migratoria quebrado. Ellos se capacitan a si mismos y a su comunidad, por medio de desarrollo de liderazgo y motivan a otros a autoabogar, por medio de actividades de cabildeo y acción directa.
