When disaster strikes, North Carolinians should be able to count on their government to respond—not leave communities to pick up the pieces alone.

But MAGA extremists in Raleigh have weakened disaster relief, underfunded emergency response, blocked local infrastructure improvements, stripped protections from wetlands, and let corporate polluters off the hook. These choices put all of us at risk—but the harm is not felt equally. Rural and low-income communities, Black and Brown communities, LGBTQ+ people, and North Carolinians who have already been denied resources and political power are too often left waiting the longest for help. This is what extremism looks like: our communities are left vulnerable while corporate interests and political power come first.
