NCAAT in Action endorses Nida Allam for U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District.
Working to increase safety for people of color, refugees, and immigrants through solidarity forms the foundation of Allam’s desire to serve, organize, and advocate on behalf of the AAPI community. Allam has advocated for economic empowerment for those affected by the pandemic in North Carolina, including raising the minimum wage for Durham County employees and providing property tax relief for low-income Durham residents during her term as Durham County Commissioner. In Congress, she will continue to fight for raising the minimum wage for all Americans, to pass laws that ensure the safety of communities of color, and to safeguard the Voting Rights Act and reproductive justice.
“I’m honored to be endorsed by NCAAT in Action. Our campaign is building a grassroots movement committed to reaching out to voters who have historically been ignored by those in power. NCAAT’s important work in organizing the AAPI community points to shared values that I will be proud to take with me to Washington.” — Nida Allam
