About Us

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 hosted an informative Hot Topics on Medicaid
Expansion in North Carolina, which can be accessed here:

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 19 th Amendment through December
2020. The Lower Cape Fear League will be celebrating its centennial in 2021, events are
currently in the planning stages.
