In August 2025, members of NCJC’s leadership team brought the needs of struggling North Carolinian consumers, renters, and homeowners to the forefront at a roundtable with federal and state leaders, including Congresswoman Deborah Ross, former Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Rohit Chopra, and NC Secretary of State Elaine Marshall.Our Interim Executive Director Dana Mangum briefed participants on how the NCGA’s withholding of $12 million in civil legal aid funding will impact the state’s most vulnerable residents. Affecting dozens of statewide nonprofit organizations, the halt on IOLTA funds threatens our ability to defend the rights of people who have nowhere else to turn when facing crises like eviction, disability discrimination, unjust employment practices, and other infringements on civil rights.
Housing, Consumer, Energy and Transportation Project Deputy Director Jason Pikler and Litigation Director Peter Gilbert also contributed to the collaborative discussion on strengthening consumer protections in light of the loss of the CFPB as a viable enforcement mechanism.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to be included in this stakeholder conversation and to amplify the needs of the communities we serve.
