As his disgraceful rally in Greenville made clear for all to see, President Trump’s re-election strategy centers on stoking hatred, resentment, fear, and division. For his personal political benefit, he is determined to stir-up his most ardent supporters in a way that will invariably lead to violence and destruction in our city. All we have to do is look to Charlottesville to see how a community can be irreparably scared by the consequences of this vile approach to democracy. Do we really want this for Charlotte? Do we really want our city to also be forever stained by such ugliness? The answer is NO!

Before it is too late, the people of Charlotte must take a stand and tell the Republican National Convention it is not welcome here with its exclusionary and inflammatory rhetoric. Please sign the petition to demand that the Charlotte City Council rescind its invitation to the Republican National Committee for the 2020 Republican National Convention and, by doing, send a message to the world that our’s is a city of inclusion and equal dignity for all!
