Today served as a planning day for the next two weeks. After reading about NC NOW and researching current issues that the organization is working on, we started brainstorming ways we could help. Ms. Paliga gave us brief overviews of some of the things that NC NOW is trying to focus on and then we came up with ideas to achieve those goals. Some of the current interests included Medicaid expansion in North Carolina and fighting against an anti-abortion law that is being considered.
We then met with Ms. Paliga and shared our ideas. Together, we came up with ideas for how to spread awareness and get more people involved in NC NOW’s initiative. Over the next two weeks, we plan on creating postcards for people to call legislators, writing to our own legislators, building the organization’s presence on social media, and even redesigning the NC NOW website.
