I’m Kanika Brown, your fighter for District 71.
My passion for community activism and social justice started at a young age, watching my aunt, Julie Hunter, coming home after hours spent amongst our community and advocating for the unheard. She taught me that true greatness is defined not by what you can do for yourself but by the impact you can have on behalf of others, and I have carried that spirit with me throughout my life.
From the time I was a young adult, I’ve spent my life organizing with progressive causes. From my work regarding HIV and AIDS awareness, serving as a substitute teacher in Elementary, Middle, and High Schools in Forsyth County, to heading up a Pet Food Pantry for needy animals here in Winston-Salem, I’ve dedicated myself to making a better future for those around me.
Issues relating to our children have particularly motivated me throughout my life. As the proud mother of a child with Autism, I know how important it is that we invest early in our children’s futures. From investing in after-school programs to instilling financial literacy in our young adults, our youth will always remain a priority for me.
Now, as your Representative for House District 71, I’m bringing my experience and priorities to the General Assembly and working to be a voice for the disenfranchised in our community. Over the last two years, I’ve sponsored bills that will help empower our local governments to more effectively represent their communities, support fair maps, boost important non-profits here in Winston-Salem, help develop our workforce, and support environmental justice in communities like ours.
With your support, I look forward to continuing that work and delivering real change for North Carolina.
We will only change our state by working together.
It’s going to take all of us together fighting for our values to effect change. Can I ask you to please sign up to learn more about this campaign and volunteer by adding your name and contact information below?
