About Siembra
Siembra NC is a base building organization focused on building power by organizing Latines and workers throughout the state of North Carolina. We organize hundreds of members across the state to take up campaigns that fight to stop wage theft, defend our rights, and recruit more of our gente to join bigger fights. Our North Star is to organize North Carolina into the best state for workers. In addition to our base building and issue based fights, we also build campaigns that engage voters across the state and that build the story of the real majority of our state, everyday workers, like us.
Siembra NC is made up of three organizations Siembra NC (501c4), Somos Siembra (501c3) Siembra PAC (federal political action committee).
