Hitting the Road: Paid Sick Days Town Hall Meetings

We can’t hang out in Raleigh all the time and so we’re taking our paid sick days campaign on the road. That’s right, we’re coming to a town near you. Throughout March and April, we’ll be traversing the state and hosting Town Hall meetings in communities across North Carolina to build support for NC's Campaign for Paid Sick Days, hear from folks about their experiences with or without paid sick days and dialogue about this important issue.

Come join us and spread the word. To RSVP for any of the Paid Sick Days Town Hall meetings, contact Ajamu Dillahunt at ajamu@ncjustice.org or (919) 856-3194.
