May 18th LKN Troublemakers Meeting

If you’ve been wondering what’s really happening in North Carolina politics right now—and more importantly, where we actually have the power to make change—this is a meeting you don’t want to miss.
On May 18, we’re joined by Nicole Quick of Carolina Forward, a leading voice in policy, advocacy, and political strategy across the state.
Nicole brings a rare combination of experience: former county party chair, NC House candidate, policy leader, and community organizer. She understands both how the system works—and where it can be challenged, shifted, and improved.
During this session, Nicole will walk us through a clear, grounded look at the current political landscape in North Carolina, including:
- What’s happening in the NC General Assembly right now and how it impacts our communities
- The realities of legislative power, veto overrides, and how decisions are actually being made
- Which seats are truly “flippable” and why those races matter more than ever
- Where voter suppression, gerrymandering, and policy decisions are shaping outcomes across the state
- The most effective ways to get involved—from voter education and registration to turnout efforts and advocacy
This is not a surface-level conversation.
Nicole will connect the dots between policy, elections, and real-world impact—and help us understand where our time, energy, and attention can actually make a difference.
Most importantly, she’ll answer the question many of us are asking:
What can we do right now that matters?
Whether you’re already engaged or just starting to pay closer attention, this session will leave you better informed, more confident, and ready to take action in ways that count.
Come ready to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who care deeply about the future of North Carolina.
