We haven't elected a Democratic Senator since '08 when we sent our beloved Sen. Kay Hagan to the Senate. @CheriBeasleyNC would be the third female and the very first Woman of Color to represent NC in the Senate. Let's make history and elect Cheri Beasley!

The #ChauvinTrial was about accountability. We must use this moment to push for change. One trial alone won’t fix the problem plaguing Black communities across the country. Our full statement on the #ChauvinTrial verdict 👇🏿 https://t.co/x0v2ggOGFx

A verdict won’t bring back George Floyd. A verdict won’t bring back Daunte Wright. A verdict won’t bring back all the Black lives lost too soon. We need more than a verdict. We need Black lives to matter before they're gone.
