Down Home NC members are running issue campaigns in their counties to make sure local budgets meet the needs of rural working class people of all races – and this isn’t the first time. For the third year in a row, Down Homies from all over the state came together for a bootcamp training to learn the basics about developing an issue campaign. They then went back to their communities to have conversations, do research, and identify an issue that matters enough – to enough people – that the number of people willing to take action on it will influence local elected officials who make decisions about how funds are allocated. Last year, the teams involved in this process were able to win more than $34 MILLION in funded programs from their county budgets. We can’t wait to see what happens next for this year’s teams! Learn more about what's happening with this year's issue campaigns by visiting downhomenc.org/news/ or click the link in bio and reading our new blog post mentioned above! (fb)
