Statement of Inclusion

North Carolina is a diverse state, full of wonderful people from all walks of life and backgrounds. Democrats believe every North Carolinian should be celebrated, and our state should keep pushing to be an inclusive, diverse place that welcomes everyone.

Our party is a big tent party. We believe that our diversity is a source of our strength – not something to hide – and we are committed to fighting for the civil and human rights of all North Carolinians. It doesn’t matter the color of your skin, who you love, how much money you make, or where you live, Democrats are fighting for you and your family.
