Three more Moral Monday actions are planned. . .

Please, please, join us in Raleigh. Three more Moral Monday actions are planned, and additional actions will take place if the current legislative session continues through the summer.

If you cannot make it to Raleigh, you can still help. Visit the NAACP-NC website and make a donation to the legal-defense fund. This will help those of us who are arrested individually and also fund our overall defense, which is grounded in the rights and responsibilities outlined in the state constitution:

Sec. 12. Right of assembly and petition.
The people have a right to assemble together to consult for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the General Assembly for redress of grievances; but secret political societies are dangerous to the liberties of a free people and shall not be tolerated.


Certainly the actions of the Republican supermajority this past week have underscored concerns that secret political societies are being not only tolerated but encouraged at the General Assembly, and that "the people" are not being heard nor permitted to assemble, instruct our representatives, or apply for redress of grievances.

Join us. And watch for secretive legislative shenanigans in your own state. By working together to raise awareness, we can all move "Forward together! Not one step back!"

regime. I hope it remains in the bright light for the next 4 years -- enough so NClinians - even if they have to jump through hoops and wait longer - vote the schmucks out!
