September 30, 2022

East Providence, RI –The East Providence Democratic City Committee issues the following statement today in response to several recent posts and literature of racist nature across the city.

The EPDCC explicitly denounces white supremacy and white supremacist domestic terrorism. The East Providence Democratic City Committee is strongly against white supremacy organizations such as CORR - a nationalist organization which supports extremist candidates for local seats of government.

propaganda spewed by organizations such as CORR continues to undermine the safety and human rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and other communities throughout the city and nation.

The EPDCC has not endorsed and will not endorse any candidate which supports this kind of ideology.

The EPDCC believes in acceptance of all of our students and their families, regardless of sexual orientation or race in East Providence.
