When others try to whitewash our history, we have to stand our ground.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Nikole Hannah-Jones didn’t hold back this week when fitness influencer Jillian Michaels attempted to minimize the significance of slavery.
..And honestly, we’re here for her "historically accurate diss track."

August 18th
BOONE — Community members are planning to participate in the "Moral Mondays: A Southern Call to Conscience. A Coordinated Action at US Senate Offices Across the Country" on Monday. Aug. 18.
According to a press release, the demonstration is part of the next phase of the Moral Monday Movement, led by Bishop William J. Barber, II and Repairers of the Breach, which brings together poor and low-wage people, impacted families, and clergy to confront lawmakers over the “Big, Bad, Ugly Deadly Destructive Budget Bill.”
On Monday, Aug. 18, poor people and low-wage workers, clergy, advocates, and others harmed by the “Big, Bad, Ugly, Deadly Destructive Budget Bill” will lead protests at the district offices of 12 southern members of Congress – including Rep. Virginia Foxx – to condemn Washington for codifying our nation’s largest-ever legislative transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Demonstrators will pray and deliver caskets to represent the North Carolinians who will likely die as a result of the healthcare cuts and slashes in the big, deadly bill.
In Boone, community members plan to meet at the Watauga County Recreation Center at noon.
“This is a moral emergency, not a partisan squabble,” said Bishop William J. Barber II. “If Congress will not listen in Washington, we will bring the cries of the people straight to their hometowns, face to face. Lawmakers must reckon with the moral consequences of their choices, not behind closed doors in D.C., but right here among their constituents.”
According to the press release, the protest will spotlight how the "budget bill’s cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and rural health systems will especially harm children, seniors, and people with disabilities."
The caskets represent the over 800 individuals who are dying every day from poverty, and the 51,000 more projected to die annually due to provisions included in the “Big, Bad, Ugly, Deadly, Destructive Budget Bill” that passed in July, according to the press release.

It's time to show up, speak out, and stand together! Join us on Monday, August 18 from 10am - 1pm (local) for "Moral Mondays: A Southern Call to Conscience."

Moral activists will gather at U.S. Senate offices across the South to declare the truth about policies of death that harm our communities and violate our deepest values. We rise as one Southern choir of conscience--multi-faith, multi-race, multi-issue, united.
