OUR PROGRAMS
Where We Are
NC Counts builds power by engaging and uniting a community of organizations dedicated to advocacy, civic engagement, social justice, and advancing equity in BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQ+, low-wealth, and other communities. Building on our 2020 Census work and statewide infrastructure, we transitioned in 2021 to include new programming: Civic Engagement, Recovery and Resilience, and Advocacy. During our strategic planning process, our staff identified a need to greater emphasize the census’ central role in achieving our mission. We decided to establish the census as a standalone program, keeping it connected to, but distinct from, our other civic engagement efforts. Every member of the NC Counts Coalition staff is expected to be knowledgeable of the importance of accurate, fair and complete census data and play a part in advancing this cross-organizational program. Our strategic planning process also identified advocacy as a thread that weaves throughout all of our programs. This insight led us to integrate advocacy into all of our programming rather than maintain it as a separate program. Our current programs will include: Census, Civic Engagement, and Recovery and Resiliency. All of our programs amplify and connect the importance of accurate, fair and complete census data in building a healthy, just and equitable North Carolina.
