Today's Moral Mondays carpools/themes

The theme for today is Environment, Justice and Health.  You are welcome to bring a sign or to wear a t-shirt depicting one of these topics.

If you would like to carpool to the 3pm training for those considering non-violent civil disobedience, call Joan McAllister this morning.  Training is required for those risking arrest.

If you would like to carpool to the 5pm rally, meet Jane Smith in the Dixie Trail parking lot at 4:20.  She will leave promptly at 4:30.  Jane plans to stay until the last bus leaves, but is happy to drive you back to your car if you need to leave earlier.

Joan McAllister has prepared Moral Mondays lapel ribbons for those who would like a conversation-starter during the week.  The ribbons are made with duct tape and red/white/blue ribbon.  These rich symbols allow you to assign your own meaning.  Duct tape:  fixing our broken state legislature?  refusing to be silenced?  Red/white/blue ribbon:  patriots, not-outsiders, remembering the values of liberty and equality at our country's roots?  Look for Joan at the rally or at church on Sunday to get your ribbon or make one of your own.

Gray Woodard is collecting the names of those willing to offer a spare bedroom to out-of-towners coming to Moral Mondays or returning for their court dates.  Let Gray know if you are willing to be on her list.

The next ad hoc Moral Monday group meeting is Sunday, June 23, at 9:15 in the Vaughan Fellowship Hall.  We start each meeting with a time for those new to Moral Mondays to ask questions.  As time permits, we turn to plans for future CUCC participation in this collaborative work for justice in North Carolina.
