Convention canceled due to Charlotte unrest
Many events are being canceled or postponed due to the violence in uptown Charlotte.
Among them: The Democratic Women of North Carolina is postponing its 56th Annual State Convention, to be held in Charlotte this weekend.
“The decision was made in consideration of those members who may be traveling to Charlotte from across the state,” said Concetta Caliendo, DWNC President. The future dates of the convention will be released as soon as determined.
