DEMOCRACY ADVOCATEDemocracy North Carolina | 2016 Annual Report

With your support, Democracy North Carolina is reaching new heights as the state’s premier pro-democracy organization. In 2016, we doubled our reach on social media, organized volunteers to win stronger early voting plans in 46 counties, and delivered voter information to 1.1 million targeted households. In 2017, we’ll continue fighting for voting rights, redistricting reform, and an elections system “of, by, and for the people!” We appreciate your activism and support! - Bob Hall
