Raleigh – Stolen Votes, Silences Voices; March to the NC Legislature

The NC State Legislature has stolen our votes through gerrymandered districts. We will march in silent protest, to represent the thousands of stolen voices across this state.

On Wednesday 10/04 @ 10am we will meet in front of the Duke Energy Center at 2 E. South Street. We will march north on Fayetteville St until the Capitol, turn right on to E. Morgan Street for half a block, turning left onto S. Wilmington St. to the Legislative Building.

For visual effect marchers are asked to consider covering their mouth with Black Tape (supplied by the organizers) or a black bandana/scarf. Please wear a white shirt, and any posters or signs should pertain to gerrymandering and/or voting rights. We need a strong consistent statement to capture media and the public’s attention.

The March will conclude with a press conference scheduled at 11am on the General Assembly lawn. The Legislature resumes special session at noon, so we expect to have a significant impact on news coverage that day.
