Join the Arab Caucus
The NCDP Arab Caucus is proud to have led the charge for a truly historic resolution—one that affirms the North Carolina Democratic Party's commitment to justice, human rights, and peace.
On June 28, 2025, the NCDP State Executive Committee (SEC) made history by adopting a resolution calling for an immediate and full arms embargo on Israel. This landmark decision makes the NCDP the first and only state Democratic Party in the nation to formally take this principled stance against the use of U.S.-supplied weapons for actions that international bodies and human rights organizations have condemned as war crimes and potential genocide.
This resolution is a testament to the power of organized community advocacy. The NCDP Arab Caucus, working tirelessly with a broad coalition of progressive, interfaith, and youth caucuses, secured this victory by:
Amplifying the Voices of the Unheard: We ensured that the moral imperative and the concerns of the Arab and Palestinian communities were heard, forcing a critical reckoning within the party.
Holding Power Accountable: We successfully pushed our party to align its platform with the principles of human rights, not unconditional military aid, reflecting the rapidly shifting conscience of the Democratic base.
Setting a National Precedent: North Carolina is now leading the way, demonstrating to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and state parties nationwide that supporting an arms embargo is a mainstream Democratic value.
The SEC vote confirms that our party will not stand idly by while U.S. military resources are used to commit human rights violations. This is a moral victory that underscores a simple, yet profound, belief: Democratic values demand an end to the flow of weapons that enable injustice.
This is only the beginning. We will hold our elected officials accountable to this resolution and continue to advocate for a foreign policy rooted in peace, equity, and human dignity.
