of North Carolina the website NAACP NC
as in North Carolina dot org remember walking back to the program
problem always glad to be all with the last are all the church with 100 200
people get ready to go to jail
a how did that work out well on that particular day over 100 people
weight and exercise their constitutional rights and for doing that we were
arrested but you know tomorrow Monday campaign is that the more
about going to jail it's about this exposing is shameful conditional
extremism in their morality
are about this extreme like has attacked
support attacked sick attacked children
are attacked workers a
are at and now has our crimes against democracy by literally
trying to hold back every a progressive
all folding are mechanism in our state
all Makino not come out of the worst voter suppression
state in the nation yeah and and on top as they also gave
rich people a huge tax cut and raise taxes on working and poor people
arm which react with which is you know who's paying their tune as the
is the fat cats arm how
a moral Monday's have been growing they're starting to get
good national attention i think is absolutely marvelous you guys are
calling out what everybody from our
up to the to the you know the Governor Pat McCrory and everybody else is doing
there
the the last week I i heard a news report that last week or maybe was this
week was supposed to be the last one
and I assumed that was because it time tied into a legislative us
schedule but I'm guessing it's not the last one
tell me about this no no this movement is a four prong strategy we have a legal
strategy
where voter education voter registration strategy we have our Iran their social
media strategy
hairy civil disobedience strategy arm
legislature has run home after they did their dirty ran home
arm and in fact they even gave themselves
power to represent themselves a state court on-demand Attorney General
diminishes crowd is is very strange
who so now we're going home behind the wheel on the suspended
mom wanted to they come back we're going home behind them and he began
on this coming August the CS in Ashley or
North Carolina there will be mountain mall Monday
a and Tom you would understand this the
the phenomenon of that the NAACP in the south leaving a minute
and and a.m. an effort this fifty percent white
and now we gotta take civil rights activism
hook with mountain populism are
in the South Baton best that's the kind of movement fusion back and turn the
tide of public
are a turn the tide about electoral politics it is
and and hopefully it will the yet in fact we're on the air in a realization
asheville north carolina I'm sure it's
this is good news for the town what Yahoo
but what have hi yeah
I let me restart this question wat
what direction do you see i mean clearly we have seen on North Carolina for
several years
as as are popenoe the right-wingers and have been pouring all this money and
they've been basically by in the state by a legislature
flipping the governor see republican flipping the legislature Republican and
disenfranchising and millions and millions of people try to
try to set it up for the future how goes the
the backlash to that I did they are beyond
I know the moral Monday thing is you know more and more people are showing up
every weekend and more and more people are getting active
I have to believe that it's its also in other areas that there are other
symptoms and signs that the backlash is growing
or no doubt and and that's exactly what mom and it was designed to do to wake up
the consciousness of people
because they had hoped we would just be amoco boulder
are you know just say where the depressed there's nothing we could do
just kind of put out here between is always a go-ahead instead every Monday
all the major media even national media even as Australia has been
presuming the issue not just people may have but the issues and showing a
diverse
agenda base coalition to stand against this extreme that we have named them we
have so many numbers a few very hurty
so what is happening thirteen weeks their poll numbers have dropped
so bear that they are now less than one out of every five machiavellian agrees
with their
while all moral Monday's has become more popular
than the legislature and is growing in popularity anderson also
for are more my liver in the place in pita basically been endorsed by all the
major papers
that's a phenomenon in itself and I saw where pet macaw is now listed
as the for the 18 worst governments
and then another site more money is this is what are the top 40 movements in the
world
so you so is not only thousands of people coming is
the make up all those people orchestrate image is this happening in the state
just shaking up the consciousness you can go anywhere male
and not hear people talking about I get on a plane he was a mall Monday
I wouldn't the demolition after with Orlando people talking about it
I we've we've received nearly 600
700 thousand hits on our social media
are since we started this is this is a movement
a transformative movement and it's different Tea Party of Wisconsin dollar
because
is not something that just spontaneously have we been building for seven years
and we're act they are reacting about political paranoia they are scared
to yes up the changing demographics and if people wake up what's going to happen
between 14 to 16 MBR
yeah yeah this is yeah this is the kind of story that I love people here cuz I
get young people call it a program on time and they're like oh how you know it
looks like there always is glad that got away with it was consulado what they got
away with Michelin or they just did in North Carolina

throughout the south I think what the first thing people need to do
is recognized I believe we're in the middle of the third reconstruction I

was a signal F far above that and that's why they ought to consider the extreme
right
