NCDP Statement Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

The North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Dr. Bobbie Richardson and Hispanic American Caucus President Elke Weil-Millan released the following joint statement in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month:

“Today, North Carolina Democrats are proud to celebrate the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month. We would like to take this month to honor the contributions and achievements of Hispanic Americans nationwide as we reflect on all that they have done to build North Carolina and the United States into the beautifully diverse nation it is today.

“Too often, Hispanic Americans face discrimination and bigotry at the hands of those who refuse to recognize these contributions. We are a nation of immigrants and made stronger by the wealth of cultural diversity that each of us brings to our communities and our government. That’s why we remain steadfast in our commitment to uplifting Hispanic voices, electing Hispanic candidates, and working to ensure that North Carolina is a place for all people to thrive.”
