Action Teams

League Action Teams are formed by groups of members interested in studying and working on issues in a particular area. All action teams are open to all members.

Environmental Action Team

Our primary areas of focus in 2020-21 include climate change and water quality. We are interested in clean energy action by our local governments and the state, including steps to implement the 2019 NC Clean Energy Plan. Water quality issues we are following include offshore seismic testing and oil drilling, GenX and PFAS in the Cape Fear River, and factory farm animal waste. In addition, we respond to local and regional environmental issues as they arise and partner with local environmental organizations on education and advocacy.

Education Action Team

Focus issues for 2020-2021 include using our Pre-K report to advocate for increased funding and access to the NC Pre-K program, collaborating with the Resilience Task Force to increase mental health supports in the schools, and advocating for equitable education opportunities for all students.  We also monitor and respond to local and state educational issues as they arise.

Fair Elections Action Team 

Goals:
 Educate the public about Gerrymandering, Redistricting Reform and how an Independent Nonpartisan Commission can help solve the problems that gerrymandering causes.
Influence, where possible, support from the NC General Assembly members, for bills that would create a nonpartisan commission.

Help influence what makes up an Independent Nonpartisan Commission and how it works.

Women's Issues Action Team 

Our primary areas of focus in 2020-2021 include passage of the Equal Rights Amendment
in North Carolina as well as in the US Senate through SJR6 and affordable, accessible
healthcare for North Carolinians, particularly women and children. We are collaborating
with multiple organizations through Vote Equality, https://voteequality.us/ to promote
candidates that support equality for all Americans and to raise awareness of the need for
this amendment to our US Constitution. 

We are preparing to work with multiple organizations to advocate for Medicaid Expansion
passage with our new slate of General Assembly members. And we are continuing to raise
awareness of LWV’s Centennial and Ratification of the 19th Amendment through December
2020. The Lower Cape Fear League will be celebrating its centennial in 2021, events are
currently in the planning stages.
