Thanks to Governor Roy Cooper for vetoing #HB237! The legislature should respect Gov. Cooper's veto and respect the right of North Carolinians to protect our health, and protect our democracy against undue influence of political mega-donors. #ncpol

A diverse democracy is a strong democracy, but many LGBTQIA+ candidates of color face racism AND homophobia or transphobia that makes it feel impossible to run for office. Discrimination deprives our democracy of new leadership & ideas that would benefit us all. #PrideMonth

Today’s SCOTUS ruling in Snyder v. United States dramatically narrows federal safeguards against state public corruption. It’s going to be lumped in with the Court’s past cases on the “criminalization of politics” like the McDonnell and "Bridgegate" cases, but IMO it's actually

Up to 1 in 4 adults have a form of disability in the U.S., but Americans with disabilities are underrepresented in public office. The loss of social security benefits and coping with the physical demands of campaigning are significant barriers to candidates. #DisabilityPrideMonth
