The Socialist Party of North Carolina is the state affiliate of the Socialist Party USA in the state of North Carolina. It was formed in 1996 by at large members of SPUSA and is recognized as both an activist organization (The Socialist Party of North Carolina was a key supporter of the FLOC boycott of Mt. Olive Pickles and is involved the death penalty moratorium movement) and a vehicle for democratic socialist electoral politics. The party obtained write-in status for Socialist Presidential candidates David McReynolds in 2000 (who received over 1000 votes in NC) and Walt Brown in 2004 (who received about 300); these past two elections have been the first since 1936 in which people in North Carolina could vote Socialist. The Socialist Party of North Carolina has two locals: one in the Raleigh-Durham area (the Salvador Allende Local) and the other in Jacksonville (the Art Young Local). The current Chairman of the Socialist Party of North Carolina is B.J. Eversole.
