Martin-

Today is a day for us to be proud - as North Carolinians and as part of the LGBTQ community. Just moments ago, Pat McCrory conceded defeat to Roy Cooper in the Governor's race. That means that a champion of equality will replace one of the worst anti-LGBTQ politicians as the highest officeholder in our state. What's more - McCrory lost largely because he attacked our community with the disastrous HB2, and because North Carolinians wouldn't stand for it.

Our work is not over. There is much to be done in order to support Roy Cooper's efforts to repeal HB2 and create statewide anti-discrimination protections. And there will be much to be done in order to elect a pro-equality legislature during the 2017 special elections. So please, take a moment to celebrate this historic victory and to congratulate Governor-Elect Roy Cooper. And please, help us carry this momentum forward to 2017 and beyond.

Onward,

Chris
