Join the “Most Massive Moral Rally in the South Since Selma!”– North Carolina UU Clergy Arrested for Civil Disobedience Call for Your Help
“We are going to have to really take upon ourselves a continuing and disciplined effort with no real hope that in our lifetime we are going to be able to take a vacation from the struggle for justice.” – Reverend James Reeb in one of his final sermons at All Souls Church Unitarian, Washington D.C.
Here in North Carolina, we have known no vacation from the struggle for voting rights. And now, we find ourselves in the midst of an ugly battle for democracy.
As ministers and citizens of North Carolina, we’ve felt compelled to respond to this threat. We have borne witness to a movement across our state that is resisting the immoral and undemocratic actions of our legislature and governor. With many from the congregations we serve we’ve taken part in Moral Mondays, led by Reverend William Barber II, President of the North Carolina NAACP.
On Saturday, Feb. 8th, the Forward Together Moral Movement is calling on all people of faith and conscience from Southern states and across the country, to join us for a Mass Moral March on Raleigh. Will you join us?
