Advocating for Change

All across North Carolina, we are with you. We are right there next to you fighting for our students. Fighting for our future.
We need to dismantle unjust systems. We need to fully fund public schools. We need to hold our elected leaders accountable to our communities. And we need your help to make it happen.
Ready to help us improve classroom conditions, secure school funding, and advance social and racial justice for all? Here’s how you can get involved.

Support the NCAE PAC & NEA Fund

Our political engagement work is fueled by educators coming together to elect pro-public education candidates and hold them accountable to ensure North Carolina has great public schools.

Private School Vouchers

NCAE believes that every child in North Carolina, no matter their race, income, or zip code, should have a high-quality education, an excellent teacher, and a great local school. However, private school vouchers stand in the way of that goal.
