North Carolina onAir

The North Carolina onAir Hub is managed by students supporting North Carolinians to become more informed about and engaged in local, state, and federal politics while facilitating more civil and positive discussions with their representatives, candidates, and fellow citizens.

  • North Carolina onAir is one of 50 state governance and elections hubs that the US onAir Network is providing to help reinvigorate US democracy.  This post has short summaries of current state and federal representatives with links to their complete Hub posts.  Students curate post content from government, campaign, social media, and public websites.  Key content on the North Carolina Hub is also replicated on the US onAir nations Hub at: us.onair.cc.
  • North Carolina students will be forming onAir chapters in their colleges and universities to help curate Hub content.  As more students participate and more onAir chapters are started, we will expand to include more state and local content as well as increase the number of aircasts – student-led, livestreamed, online discussions with candidates, representatives, and the public.

North Carolina Collaborators

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from North Carolina universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the North Carolina onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to North Carolina State University partly because of its proximity to the state capital. In this post we will summarize information about many universities like East Carolina University’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. 

Contact ben.murphy@onair.cc for more information on how to involve your organization.
