• People First, Tax Wealth Not Work,

Regular North Carolinians don’t have personal lobbyists but we do have the NC Justice Center developing and advocating for policies that advance and improve health, housing, education, immigration, and labor issues. These are People First policies that aim to Tax Wealth Not Work. Hear about the specific initiatives the NCJC is working to advance when Meyer comes up “On The Porch”. Listen in and meet our guest:

Graig Meyer is the Executive Director of the NC Justice Center where he will continue to “prioritize decisions and policies that make our state safer, healthier, more fair, and more prosperous”. Meyer brings more than a decade of leadership in the North Carolina General Assembly, where he served in the House of Representatives beginning in 2013 and most recently in the State Senate representing Orange, Person, and Caswell Counties. Throughout his legislative career, Meyer championed strong public education, access to health care, economic opportunity for working families, and policies that strengthen communities across the state. Before entering public office, Graig spent sixteen years working in North Carolina’s public schools. A trained social worker and longtime public-school advocate, Graig has focused his public service on helping families connect to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
