HeadlineAug 06, 2013

Critics of the Republican agenda in North Carolina are taking their struggle statewide with the launch of Mountain Moral Mondays. Nearly 1,000 people were arrested during 13 weeks of Moral Monday actions at the Capitol in Raleigh. On Monday, thousands gathered in downtown Asheville to continue protests against the rollback of voting rights, unemployment benefits and abortion access. Reverend William Barber, head of the North Carolina NAACP, said the protests are coming to all 13 congressional districts.
