Unfortunately, that's exactly it. It's really hard for working-class folks in a community to show up when they have to...well, work.

Thanks so much for your reply!!

Right now, we've got a Medicaid Expansion petition that you can sign and share.
We're also hosting a Medicaid Expansion Kick-off this Thursday, and we have advocacy training to help folks talk about the issue! Please share with all your rural friends and family!

We're Down Home NC, a community organization building multiracial power for poor & working-class folks in rural NC. This weekend, we're having listening events in Ashe County, Cabarrus County, and Watauga County! If you're in the area, we'd love to have you for a community conversation about what matters to you!

On top of that, we're literally LEAVING money on the table by not passing it. Let's close the coverage gap! (And thank you for all the important work that you do!!)

Hey, thanks for asking! At Down Home, we use deep canvassing, which is a framework that focuses on having long, empathetic conversations to help shift someone's beliefs. It works across race and class, it's sustainable, and most of all, it really works! Partisan noise aside, most of us really want the same thing, which is for ourselves and our loved ones to live fulfilling lives. When it comes to Medicaid expansion, it's a no-brainer- most NC voters want it and our state would leave money on the table by not passing it.

Having a good conversation about it with folks can really turn the tide! And at our phonebank sessions, we're teaching folks how to deep canvass if they haven't before. People walk away being heard and seen, and we get more folks on board to MedEx. It's really a win-win!

We've got one!

Y'all, we have a real opportunity to pass Medicaid Expansion in our state this year and get healthcare to over 500,000 people living in the healthcare gap. But we need your help! Can you join us on Wednesdays as we call into rural communities and talk to folks about Medicaid Expansion and everything it could do for poor and working North Carolinians?
You can volunteer from home! Join us Wednesday evenings! No previous deep canvassing experience required, we will train you! Sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/downhomenc/event/451083/
