North Carolina is at the leading edge of America's demographic transformation. How
will rising diversity affect the state's economic prospects, and what can we do to
build an economy that delivers growth and prosperity?
All-In Nation: An America that Works for All

Center for American Progress and PolicyLink, proposes that equity-just and fair inclusion
of all-is the answer, and a growing chorus of economists, policymakers, and business and
community leaders agree. Join several local and national thought leaders for a special
