10th Annual Moral March on Raleigh
HKonJ People’s Assembly
Our legislators are systematically seeking to abridge and suppress our vote and disrespect the rivers of blood which made our vote possible – we will mobilize like never before and cast ballots like never before. We will vote those who will pass just and moral policies that help the “least of these” and those who are most oppressed.
The Moral March on Raleigh is part of a love and justice movement. We LOVE justice in Education; We LOVE Economic Sustainability, We LOVE Workers and Workers’ Rights and Livable Wages; We LOVE Health Care For All, Medicaid Expansion: We LOVE our Environment; We LOVE Equal Protection Under the Law, without regard to creed, race, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation; We LOVE Voting Rights For All; We LOVE criminal justice.
We LOVE the most vulnerable within our State and Nation; We LOVE the power and beauty of diversity within our State and Nation; We LOVE our neighbors; WE ARE IN THIS LOVE TOGETHER! And We are determined to go “FORWARD TOGETHER, NOT ONE STEP BACK!”
On February 13, 2016, we will gather at 8:30 a.m. in downtown Raleigh. The pre-rally will begin at 9:00 a.m. and the march will begin at 10:00 a.m. after which we will begin the mass people’s assembly on the doorstep of the State Capitol.

While the Rev. William Barber, head of the NCNAACP, likes to call opponents extremists and rant about the immorality of legislative actions, he never mentions one important detail concerning his personal interest. An organization associated with his church, Rebuilding Broken Places Community Development Corporation, of which he is the founder and still chairman, has bellied up to the taxpayer buffet to the tune of over $1.15 million in recent years. A quick search shows some but not all of the taxpayer dollars garnered by his organization (State Agencies come from NC Open Book:

Mostly what they LOVE is living off OPM.
I initially read the headline as “…Money March”. I think my initial impression was correct.
Yup, immoral minority.
