Goal
1: All members of the community will be valued, and their
civic participation will be welcomed.
For
all the ties that bind North Carolinians together, there
remain wedges that drive us apart. Lingering racism is
suspect in the gaps in income, health, and school achievement.
Newcomers to our communities are too often greeted with
misunderstanding and hostility. Our elders and our youngsters
seldom receive the respect they are due. The poor become
“them,” rather than part of “us.”
Stereotypes and cronyism lock women out of business opportunities.
Yet our communities will never achieve their potential,
will never be truly vibrant places to live and grow, until
we embrace all members of the community equally and profit
from their contributions to civic life.
