Governor Stein orders flags to half-staff for Gloria Steinem

Governor Josh Stein orders U.S. and North Carolina flags at state facilities to be flown at half-staff in honor of Gloria Steinem, the American journalist and social movement activist whose work shaped public life far beyond North Carolina. The order recognizes her as a prominent advocate and marks her place in the state’s flag observance calendar.

Flags begin at half-staff at sunrise on September 6, 2026, and return to full staff at sunset on September 10, 2026. The observance applies at state facilities across North Carolina.
