A series of protests against North Carolina’s Republican-controlled legislature appear to be growing by the week. Some 57 protesters were arrested at the North Carolina General Assembly on Monday, the highest count to date. The NAACP has been holding what it calls “Moral Mondays,” a weekly demonstration against North Carolina Republicans’ legislative actions. These include cuts to social programs, restrictions of voting rights, and the forgoing of Medicaid expansion under President Obama’s healthcare law.
