March 23rd, 2014 - Moral Monday architect Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II and Georgia Moral Monday Arrestee, Rev. Raphael Warnock are guests on MSNBC's "Up with Steve Kornacki" to talk about the regressive legislation going on in the South and the impact of the Moral Monday Movement.

terrific background piece by Bill Moyers:

(reposting)

Legendary journalist Bill Moyers has created a documentary about North Carolina’s politics in 2013 titled North Carolina: State of Conflict. As of press time Saturday, UNC-TV does not have the show scheduled to air in our state – essentially blacking out the documentary to all but those who are able to access it through the internet.


“First it was Wisconsin. Now it’s North Carolina that is redefining the term ‘battleground state,’” the show’s website says. “On one side: a right-wing government enacting laws that are changing the face of the state. On the other: citizen protesters who are fighting back against what they fear is a radical takeover.”

The show’s producers visited North Carolina over the summer, when people were gathering for weekly Moral Monday protests against the agenda of the Republican supermajority-controlled legislature and the McCrory administration. In all, more than 900 people were arrested for engaging in civil disobedience outside lawmakers’ chambers.

The president ought to put on some comfortable shoes and join them on the picket line.

There are individual viewings of the Moyers Doc going on in NC and being passed around to groups in other states.

Sort of like Dean Meetups but in various churches and such instead.....
