Do More than Tri

Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.” - William E. Simon

Giving to charitable organizations like Genesis Home that are meeting our neighbors' daily needs is incredibly important. Homelessness ends when folks have the skills and support they need to be permanently independent -- and Genesis Home provides those things to families every single day.

But, homelessness also ends when we have humane, forward-thinking, prevention-based public policies. Those policies are created by the folks we elect and - perhaps even more importantly - the folks we allow others to elect for us.

Just a few short months ago, I never thought that presidential primary fervor would come to North Carolina. Lo, and behold, it has!

So...loyal, dear NC readers: WE CAN DO MORE THAN 'TRI' TO END HOMELESSNESS.

We can register. Learn about the various candidates running for office this year. And VOTE!

In order to vote in the May 6 primary, folks need to register by THIS FRIDAY-- OR register on-site during the early voting period. Everything you need to know can be found HERE.
