MDC is saddened and alarmed

As an organization that has worked for nearly 50 years to build a South that is inclusive, thriving, and just, MDC is saddened and alarmed at the events in Charlottesville and a resurgence of the hatred and violent expressions of white supremacy that poisoned our region for too much of its history. We stand with our fellow Southerners and all Americans who wish to make our home a place that honors the dignity and talents of all its people, and that is guided by the conviction that society benefits when everyone succeeds. Only through recognizing our common humanity and grounding our actions and policies in a commitment to equity and inclusion can we make the South and the nation live up to our highest ideals.
