NC HEAT is a youth-led organization. It uses peer education and organizing campaigns to advocate for youth liberation. This often means defending schools against destructive cut-backs, privatization and austerity. It further aims to end to the school-to-prison pipeline, promote safety & security for LGBTQ students, and secure resources and equality for immigrant youth.
In 2011 NC HEAT launched a boycott of Variety Wholesalers Stores, which are owned and operated by the leading conservative donor in NC. Art Pope, who is also antabuse online President of Americans for Prosperity and works with the Koch brothers, a major Tea Party funder.
