Accountability
All of us here at NDTC have asked ourselves the same question we’re sure all of you are asking…
What am I doing for racial justice?
As we work to support Democratic candidates, staff, and local leaders at the forefront of these issues, we make two promises to you.
First, we will continually uplift and call attention to racial injustices. You will not only hear our voice on this issue when it is the focus of the media. We will address and fight for racial justice proactively, not reactively.
Second, we will promote and collaborate with organizations focused on racial justice.
We call on you to hold us, and yourself, accountable to these promises.
We stand behind everyone who stands up to bring us closer to being a truly united community. From candidates and officeholders to local leaders and volunteers, the responsibility to take action belongs to all of us.
Let’s work together to make sure the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others, finally ignites the change our communities demand
