The People First Agenda

The People First Agenda outlines our priorities for the year ahead, from protecting housing and expanding access to health care, to advancing fair chance policies and strengthening economic opportunity. Grounded in what we are hearing across North Carolina, it reflects both immediate needs and the long-term change our communities deserve, positioning the people of North Carolina as the heart and driving force behind our work in 2026 and beyond.
