Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Cal believes that the story of North Carolina belongs to all of us. The story of North Carolina is still being written, and we must make the next chapter as one that fairly includes everyone, no matter who they are, who they love, or the color of their skin.

For Cal, that means standing with the LGBTQI community and communities of color in the fight against regressive policies. Cal supports advancing the long-overdue passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), passing the Equality Act to protect LGBTQI North Carolinians from discrimination in housing and the workplace, reforming our criminal justice system, and restoring the Voting Rights Act so that our elected representatives reflect the will of the people.

Cal also believes we need vigorous enforcement of our nation's civil rights laws to tear down the vestiges of discrimination and open the doors of opportunity to all North Carolinians.

Cal is proud to be endorsed by Equality NC and the Human Rights Campaign.
