Taking the Dream Home! Forward Together Movement Marches Across NC on 50th Anniversary of March on Washington

Wednesday, August 28, 2013

5:30 pm, across North Carolina!

On August 28th, the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, North Carolina will heed Dr. King's call at the end of his "I Have a Dream" speech to go home and organize! We will hold 13 simultaneous rallies in each of the US Congressional districts.

Inspired by the Forward Together Movement and Moral Mondays, "Take the Dream Home" rallies will make sure that the extremists who passed the devastating legislation in the NC General Assembly will have to face an educated citizenry, who will not allow them to lie and say they governed for the good of the whole. Across the state, people will know that their ultra-conservative right wing legislators passed legislation that is extreme, immoral and a violation of our deepest moral and constitutional values.

We will also rally in the 13 US Congressional districts and demand that our US Congressional representatives renew Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act after right wing forces won out in the recent US Supreme Court Shelby v. Holder to repeal the heart of the VRA

We will lift our voices and say "Forward Together, Not One Step Back!

Locations of 13 rallies across the state in each Congressional district: see link
