DREAMA CALDWELL

Dreama is the Executive CoDirector of Down Home NC, using her own lived experiences to build power in small and rural towns in NC with the poor and working-class and fight for racial justice. Dreama was also a 2020 candidate for Alamance County Commissioner. She was the first black female to run for this position and the first black woman to win a primary election. Dreama did not win her election but won in many other ways. Over 34,000 people voted for her and the black voter turnout increased 42%, which was even higher than the state of NC’s black voter turnout.
