The Border & Immigration: Setting the Record Straight

By ICLT member, Marshal Auron

America has long been a key destination for  those seeking a better life. Although immigration has sometimes led to political and economic strains on our nation, it has reaped tremendous long-term benefits for the US as we have become a multicultural, global political and economic powerhouse. The US is currently facing another period of increased immigration. 

The Republican answer is to reject a Bipartisan proposal that could address the issue and continue to advocate for a reprehensible “Border Wall” that they failed to build during the Trump Administration.

Event: ICLT Hot Spot Voter Registration/Education

Hot spot registration/education is essentially canvassing from one spot! Through the use of a fun spin to win game, we engage with potential voters about issues that matter to them, provide civics education on how their vote affects that issue, and register them to vote if needed. 

Come register CPCC-Matthews students to vote in this year’s election! We will set up on the first day of their 4th session, next Monday, April 8 from 10:30-1:00 and again on Thursday, April 18 from 10:30-1:00.

North Carolina Legislative Actions 2023: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

By ICLT member, Marshal Auron

2023 was a  fateful year for the Republican General Assembly, as it resumed its march to implement a reactionary and regressive agenda. 

  • 74 new laws were signed by the Governor, 19 were vetoed and 13 took effect without his signature. 

  • Despite a bright spot in the passage of Medicare expansion, the 19 vetoed laws were overridden and some undermine women’s health, LGBTQ+ rights, gun control and public education.

  • The veto overrides were courtesy of District 105 Representative Tricia Cotham. Her party switch from Democrat to Republican provided  a legislative supermajority and nullified the  Governor’s ability to veto undesirable bills.

  • Despite valiant efforts to turn the party tide in the legislature, a November victory by presumptive Gubernatorial Republican nominee Mark Robinson will likely continue this reactionary march. 

Let’s do a deep dive into the good, bad and ugly of 2023’s new legislation.
