Our Mission

Democracy North Carolina is a nonpartisan organization that uses research, organizing, and advocacy to increase voter participation, reduce the influence of big money in politics and achieve a government that is truly of the people, for the people and by the people. Democracy NC grew out of Democracy South which began as a project of the Institute for Southern Studies. For more than 20 years, we’ve taken on powerful industries and political leaders, regardless of party, and promoted reforms that expand public involvement in the political process. Here are highlights of some research reports, as well as formal complaints that we’ve filed against Democrats and Republicans since 1991.

I'm on their mailing list. I'm hoping that with enough coordinated effort, sane folk in NC can help ensure everyone has proper ID, that everyone votes in the right place at the right time -- at least enough of us to vote those loons OUT so the next leg/gov can just overturn this bill in its entirety.
