North Carolina “Moral Monday” Protests Gain Natl. Coverage, Countless Arrests

Over the past few months, every Monday has marked a new protest in downtown Raleigh. Collectively labeled as “Moral Mondays” these protests have focused on everything from women’s healthcare changes and cut unemployment benefits, to the repeal of the Racial Justice Act and possible voter I.D. requirements—symbols the protestors say are signaling the downfall of North Carolina.

NC Lawmakers Still Pushing to Repeal Racial Justice Act

Charlotte’s Citizen Review Board Sides With Police Every Time in 15 Years

In the 15 years since it was created, the Citizen Review Board of Charlotte—tasked with investigating complaints of police misconduct—has sided with the police.

NC Lawmakers Kill Medical Marijuana Bill

February 27, 2013 Leave a Comment

Usually when lawmakers as a collective don’t like a bill, they allow it to fizzle out. When the bill comes to committee to be debated, they just pretend it isn’t there and handle every other issue they can think of. But, for North Carolina lawmakers tasked with debating the North Carolina Medical Marijuana Act, that wouldn’t send a strong-enough message. Instead, they simply killed it. [Read more…]
