About this event

The “Chop It Up NC” virtual event series is a Men of Color focused discussion on state and national policy and politics and how it affects black and brown communities across North Carolina!

Join us for a dialogue with Rev. Dr. Paul McAllister, Chair of InterFaith Caucus-NCDP and Mo Green, candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, to address the important issues and concerns we face. Learn more about Mo Green at www.mogreenfornc.com.

Men of Color are critical to the Democratic coalition in North Carolina, and we must do all we can to engage their diverse concerns in an authentic way, year-round, in order to turn North Carolina blue.
