Forward Together Movement Rallies across North Carolina on the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington

5:30pm, 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 across the state to bring to light the unconstitutional and immoral acts of the NC General Assembly and the influence their decisions have had on our local communities. We will rally in the 13 Congressional Districts and demand that our Congress People renew Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. We will lift our voices and say "Forward Together, Not One Step Back!
