Our Education Committee focuses on protecting our children. We stay on top of what is going on with the New Hanover County School System and Board of Education. A determined and dedicated group of moms, grandmothers, educators and concerned community members – we fight hard to uncover what is really going on in our school system and make our voices heard!

We welcome all members to join us at School Board meetings (download a map here).

Our legislation committee works to make a difference in local and state issues. If there is an issue or bill on the table that we need to either support or fight – we are on top of it!

The Voter Integrity Committee strives to ensure New Hanover county voices are heard. We believe each legal vote counts and are passionate about voter ID, clean voter rolls and voting systems we can trust. We work with legislation and volunteer to work at the polls and be poll monitors. Our goal is to ensure that each voting location has volunteers covering it. In addition to working to ensure safe, secure elections, we promote voter registration, host Red Wave Voting Rallies and campaign across the county handing out fliers and educational materials.
