"When Oxfam America released its Best States to Work Index (BSWI) last month, my eyes trailed down the column listing 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia until I found the lowest-ranked state: North Carolina. For the third year, my home state—once considered a bastion of progressive policy in the South—ranked dead last, winning the unenviable honor of being the worst state to work." In her recent blog for Oxfam America, Workers' Rights Project Co-Director Ana Pardo reflects on how the state's failure to enact strong pro-worker policies is hurting millions of North Carolinians. https://ow.ly/Zy0e50U69ma

Our hearts are with everyone in Western North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene. The devastation we're witnessing is unfathomable, and our thoughts are with our family, friends, colleagues, and partners out west. There will be much work to do in the days, weeks, and months ahead as we learn the scope of the damage—providing food, shelter, water, and medicine, and connecting folks to state and federal resources. For those of you who are impacted directly or know someone who is, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help connect you with assistance and ensure you know your rights. For those of you who are able to help, we’ve also included links to trusted organizations on the ground doing incredible work to meet people’s immediate needs. Visit https://lnkd.in/gjkHcf9F to get connected.
