Protect Free Speech in North Carolina
The recent passage of rules restricting free speech and protest at the General Assembly are deplorable. It’s un-American and a direct assault on free speech rights you should be supporting. Reverse these rules now!
Why is this important?
North Carolina politicians are at it again. First, they passed laws to make it harder for people to vote and to deny unemployment benefits to tens of thousands of workers. Now, they’ve passed new rules to take even more rights away from North Carolinians.
This time, they’re going after free speech. Right-wing politicians in Raleigh just passed changes to rules governing public access to their legislature. These changes ban protesters from chanting, singing or having signs and limit access to the General Assembly.
This is a direct attack on the Moral Monday protests that have exposed the extreme agenda of these politicians. Don’t let them silence the voice of North Carolinians. Tell House Speaker Thom Tillis, Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger, Rep. Tim Moore and Gov. Pat McCrory it’s un-American, and to reverse the rules now.
