About
Emancipate NC defends our State’s core democratic institutions from partisan interference. Our strategic communications, educational programming, and powerful advocacy efforts put a spotlight on the racial dimension of voter suppression, gerrymandering, and legislative interference with other branches of government. Black citizens are the canaries in the coal mine: our rights get attacked first, but they won’t be the last. We work in coalition with pro-democracy partners to protect all of North Carolina’s most essential rights and freedoms. North Carolina has a vibrant ecosystem of grassroots leaders mobilizing in their work places, neighborhoods, schools, and more. We provide expert policy guidance and direct legal support to many base-building groups in North Carolina, including unions, immigrant rights’ organizations, tenant organizations, students, and more, supporting organizers with the critical legal and policy capacity that they need to thrive. Hundreds of kids are confined in North Carolina–despite the evidence that this practice is harmful, unproductive, and inhumane. The majority of these kids are Black and Brown. We fought to Raise the Age in North Carolina leading up to 2019. We have won parole rights for juvenile lifers in the North Carolina courts. And we continue to fight to beat back efforts to criminalize our youth in the General Assembly.
