NC House Dances With Joy Over Their Accomplishments
It should have been a solemn day last Thursday when the NC General Assembly passed legislation that has been called the most severe voter restrictions and Anti-Choice legislation in the country, but instead there was fiddling, dancing and ice cream.
It was the final death knells to the progress made by years of social justice and civil rights advancements. The same progress that made North Carolina standout among the other southern states for the quality of life, education and tolerance was wiped out in one session.
The legislation has sent a clear message that if you are unemployed, disabled, in school, sick, a teacher, a woman, an arrested person of color, small business owner, a voter, a local government or middle income, you are a target
As the Moral Monday protesters have chanted, “Shame!” You have not governed with compassion for the sick, the unemployed, the school children, or the hard working people of this state. You dancing on the same floor where you voted to refuse Medicaid is like you dancing on the graves of the 2,800 uninsured that will die at your hands. From now on, try to show a little consideration and do your victory dance in private
