Mountain Moral Monday Photo Gallery
On Monday August 5 a coalition of WNC groups hosted Mountain Moral Monday, a non-partisan event organized to highlight the abuse of power and cruel policies coming out of the N.C. statehouse. The event took place at Pack Square Park and featured Rev. Dr. William Barber, President of the NC NAACP, the grassroots leader responsible for shining a national spotlight on what the New York Times has called “The Decline of NC.”
Since April, 821 people have been arrested in the Raleigh “Moral Monday” demonstrations, including 68 people from WNC. Those 68 people were honored at the event along with others arrested for non-violent civil disobedience in the state capitol.
