Perhaps NCLM’s greatest attribute is its diversity, as we see its value across North Carolina every day. Our cities and towns have many differences. 它们有大的和小的,城市的和农村的,山区的和沿海的和农业的. They are comprised of citizens of all races, ages and backgrounds. And it is because of—not in spite of—these differences that we thrive, both culturally and economically. 

这就是为什么作为一个会员组织,在影响北卡罗来纳州城镇的所有问题上提供援助, NCLM认为,以一种增强地方在种族问题上的领导力的方式参与进来是至关重要的, 股本 and 股本-related issues. By leading with our collective values, the NCLM recognizes we must, 首先也是最重要的, 了解我们自己在支持系统性种族主义和不平等方面的历史和作用,以真实而有力的方式向前发展. In order to have future-forward, viable and thriving economies, 城市和城镇必须在政策制定中以种族平等为中心,以潜在地克服地方社区中存在的代际差异.​
