Lumbee Tribe Tobacco Cessation Program State Rally
The Lumbee TRU (Truth, Reality, Unfiltered) youth, along with other TRU groups from across the state, held a rally in Raleigh on May 11 at the State Legislative Building. The event was held to raise awareness and try to save the Health and Wellness Trust Fund (HWTF). Members of the Pembroke and First Nation TRU groups were in attendance representing the Lumbee Tribe Tobacco Cessation Program.
Our local House of Representatives, Rep. Charles Graham and Rep. Garland Pierce, and Senator Michael Walters spoke with the youth and gave them a tour of the building. TRU members encouraged the state representatives to vote no on abolishing the HWTF. For more information about the Lumbee TRU or Tobacco Cessation programs contact April Bryant at 910-521-2189.
