Every year we come together to celebrate the inspirational work of outstanding leaders in our community who are leading the fight for justice. These few exemplify our mission—they are working to eliminate poverty in North Carolina to ensure the creation of an economy that works for everyone. They are at the front-lines of advancing progressive and inclusive policies that advance equity and opportunity in our state. Please join us in celebrating their numerous achievements!
