    I am honored to have the privilege of leading the @NCStateAFLCIO, the strongest and most inclusive labor movement in the American South. For too long, working people have been told to keep quiet, to work harder, and to accept less. We are here to declare that every worker

    I’m no lawyer but I believe what @KeegHerr24 experienced was assault. If you weaponize your bodily fluids on someone that could be interpreted as assault. Intentionally spreading virus (HIV) is on the books as attempted murder.

    I am home safe. Thank you all for your support. There are a lot of people that are still in the process. There is a lot of work to do.

    I was arrested & charged with "failure to disperse upon command" at 10pm last night I was held on a $1,000 unsecured bond. I was released at 1am. I went to Beatties Ford Road in my official capacity as City Council Member At Large.

    Thank you @ChelseaClinton, for your encouraging words! I'm grateful to join you & so many others in the good fight for #equity in #opportunity for all. Let's continue the conversation!
    Mr. President, @BraxtonWinston is a superb example of an actual “very fine” person. And, yes I️ know he won an election in Charlotte, not Charlottesville. Still, please learn more about him @realDonaldTrump @POTUS (My first #280charactertweet. Please understand @chrissyteigen!)

    If you are a North Carolinian who is a military child and have lived your life oversees b/c your parents served our country then the NCGOP doesn’t think your vote should count. That is certainly an audacious platform position.
    DID YOU KNOW? Individuals who have never stepped foot in North Carolina and do not intend to ever do so are permitted to vote in our state's elections. #NCPOL #EveryLegalVote
