250 years ago, North Carolinians stood up to a king. They didn’t wait for permission. They resisted tyranny, demanded liberty, and built a government by and for the people. Today, that fight continues. NC will never bow to a king ever again. 💪🏽🇺🇸 #ncpol open.substack.com/pub/batchbrief…

ICYMI: On Tuesday, NC marked 250 years since the Mecklenburg Resolves—our first bold stand against royal rule. Our ancestors didn’t wait for change. They made it. 📜✊🏽 #ncpol open.substack.com/pub/batchbrief…

We will not stand by while political violence threatens our democracy. Read Leader Batch's full statement on the targeted assassination of Rep. Hortman and attack on Sen. Hoffman in Minnesota today:

Juneteenth is not only a day to remember what was ended. It’s a day to imagine what still needs built. And we can only build if we’re brave enough to come together—by showing up, by speaking out, by voting, by organizing, and by never letting the flame of justice flicker out.

I applaud Governor Stein for standing up for North Carolinians by vetoing these dangerous bills. I am grateful for his continued leadership and his commitment to serving our wonderful state.

Republicans are playing dangerous games with our health care. We’re grateful for the work of state Democratic legislators like Sydney Batch who are working hard to stand up for their constituents' fundamental right to health care.

Today is a monumental day for the children in our state’s foster care system, as the Fostering Care in NC Act has been signed into law. Thank you to everyone who came together and made this long-needed reform a reality! #ncpol #ncleg #hb612

After years of pushing for change Leader Batch stood next to Governor Josh Stein, Rep. Allen Chesser, and Rep. Vernetta Alston this morning as he signed Christal’s Law into law. HB 612 will change lives and protect NC’s most vulnerable kids.

Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is a disaster for North Carolina. Leader Batch's full statement:

A new Batch Brief is live! 📣 Why Senate Democrats made history with a “present” protest on HB 805 ⚖️ Christal’s Law is now NC law ⏸️ The legislature’s in recess, but the dysfunction isn’t 📊 PLUS: Vote in our poll Catch up on all the latest 👇 open.substack.com/pub/batchbrief…

Wishing everyone a festive and safe July 4th!

Today, we should celebrate this achievement, but tomorrow, we must get back to work. I urge Republican leadership to call the Senate back into session to pass a state budget that continues to invest in the programs that make North Carolina the best place to do business. #ncpol
