Support the Moral Monday protesters in North Carolina
It has been incredibly heartening to see you stand up to the North Carolina GOP as it attempts to erase decades of progress in the state. Your actions are an inspiration for progressives across the country.
Why is this important?
North Carolina Republicans—who control both houses of the legislature and the governorship—are on a rampage to pass some of the most right-wing laws in the country.
They have ended unemployment benefits for 71,000 people, passed a voter suppression law that disenfranchises college students and people of color, and pushed a draconian abortion bill even worse than the one in Texas.
But since April 29, a coalition led by the North Carolina NAACP has been staging weekly nonviolent protests at their statehouse, called Moral Mondays. So far, more than 900 have been arrested—but more keep coming back each week to keep up the pressure.
Join Daily Kos in thanking these protesters for their persistence.
