Our Priorities
Advancing civil rights and social justice: Addressing systemic racism and discrimination is crucial to ensure equal treatment, opportunity, and justice for all individuals. By promoting civil rights and social justice, the NCLBC aims to create a fair and inclusive society where everyone can thrive without facing prejudice or discrimination based on their race or ethnicity.
Promoting equitable access to quality education: Education is a key pathway to success and upward mobility. By advocating for equitable access to quality education, the NCLBC aims to provide all students, regardless of their background, with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed academically and pursue their dreams.
Criminal justice reform: Addressing things such as racial profiling, law enforcement, and sentencing disparities is crucial to ensure fair and just treatment under the law. The NCLBC seeks to promote reforms that reduce racial disparities, enhance accountability, and create a more equitable and rehabilitative approach to justice.
Economic empowerment: Economic empowerment is essential for breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities for individuals and communities to grow. By supporting policies that promote entrepreneurship, job creation, and equitable economic development, the NCLBC aims to uplift marginalized communities.
Voting rights: Voting is a fundamental right and a cornerstone of our democracy. The NCLBC recognizes the importance of ensuring equal access to the democratic process and is committed to the fight against voter suppression. By protecting and expanding voting rights, the NCLBC seeks to empower the voices of marginalized communities and ensure their representation in the political process.
Addressing healthcare disparities: Healthcare disparities disproportionately affect marginalized communities, leading to unequal access to quality care and poorer health outcomes. The NCLBC advocates for policies that address healthcare disparities, expand access to affordable healthcare, and promote health equity for all residents of North Carolina.
Affordable housing initiatives: Affordable housing is a basic need and a key determinant of an individual's well-being and economic stability. The NCLBC supports initiatives that increase access to affordable housing, combat housing discrimination, and promote safe and stable communities for all residents.
Environmental justice: Marginalized communities often bear a disproportionate burden of environmental hazards and pollution. The NCLBC works to address these environmental injustices, promote sustainable policies, and ensure that all communities have clean air, water, and a healthy environment.
