Fundraiser for North Carolina with Heather Cox Richardson as Keynote Speaker
All in for NC and friends are joining with the States Project to raise money for the States Project’s NC efforts. Democrats need to add only one more seat in the state legislature to break the Republican supermajority. President Biden is prioritizing NC which he lost by less than 1.4% in 2020. NC has a Supreme Court race and one of the most consequential Governor’s races in the country. The Republican candidate for Governor is racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, a Holocaust denier, and anti-women. He wants a total abortion ban. He has said: “Once you make a baby, it’s not your body anymore – it’s y’all’s body.” DONATE & REGISTER
