Moral Monday

North Carolina Activists Call on Governor to Convene Special Legislative Session

October 29, 2013 Facing South, www.southernstudies.org , ,
Moral Monday activists in North Carolina are inviting the public to sign a letter asking Gov. Pat McCrory (R) to convene a "Special Redemption Session" of the legislature to reverse recent decisions denying Medicaid expansion and cutting unemployment benefits. The letter was written by clergy who were among the over 900 people arrested earlier this year during the Moral Monday protests organized by the state NAACP. Those weekly protests began in April and drew thousands of citizens to the state legislature to rally against an agenda that included cuts to social safety net programs and restrictions on voting rights.

Moral Monday Movement—13 Weeks and 1,000 Arrests

August 13, 2013 Tanya Glover, www.occupy.comL , , , , , ,
"North Carolina was one of the first states in America to raise its voice against the immoral behavior of their state legislature[...]Each Moral Monday mobilized around a single issue. One week was for labor issues, another for women’s rights, another for voting rights, and so on. The beautiful thing was that no matter what the theme, people came out in droves. This is the meaning of intersectionality -- just because an issue may not affect us on a personal level, we’re still willing to speak up and fight for the fairness and freedom of others."
