Enlace Latino NC is a nonprofit journalism organization which empowers the diverse community of Latine immigrants in North Carolina to become more involved in the political and social changes that affect them. They do that by publishing independent, non-partisan, public service journalism in Spanish.

The T21 (To***co 21) coalition is a group which advocates for stronger laws, age limits, and community health education around the health impacts of to***co use – particularly for youth. Tomorrow – April 28th – T21 will be in Raleigh to talk with state legislators about these concerns and the proposed “Solly’s Law” which would raise the age for to***co-related purchases to 21 years.

JOIN LIVE to watch the press conference at 10 a.m. LINK BELOW

Solomon Wynn, or Solly, died in 2023 from complications directly related to va**ng. Solly would be graduating from high school this spring. He was 15 years old. Solly’s Law aims to add North Carolina to the growing list of states which have strengthened protections for youth against to***co use and addiction.

• North Carolina’s teen va**ng rate is double the national average.
• North Carolina is one of only 6 states where you can legally buy vapes, ci******es, ci**rs, ni****ne pouches, and other ni****ne products at age 18. The others raised the age to 21 to match the federal age limit, established in 2019.
• North Carolina is one of only 8 states that doesn’t require a permit to sell these products, which makes it difficult for law enforcement to enforce the laws we do have.

More than 30 youth will attend the event in Raleigh tomorrow to share their perspectives on to***co use with lawmakers. We recommend logging in between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Wednesday 4/28/26.

We know that teenage youth have always had their share of challenges, but it often seems that today’s teens have an unprecedented load to bear. From our neighbors in Winston-Salem to ongoing local food, housing, and social challenges – it is simply harder than ever to navigate the internal and external changes that our young community members must face on a daily basis.

Fortunately there are many individuals and organizations across our state who are raising the flag around youth mental health – offering programs, counseling, support and education for teens and families. A great example is this upcoming program from High Point Housing Authority (HPHA).

Feel free to share with others in your circle.
