Beverly Stolarick and Gray Woodard told us about their experience being arrested at last week’s Moral Monday. Thank you, Bev and Gray!
We arranged to carpool to the rally responding to the killing of Trayvon Martin. Joan agreed to announce the carpool in worship.
Joan and Jane will be hosting “lupper” (lunch/supper) for 3 people from High Country UCC tomorrow (July 22) at 3:30pm at CUCC. If you would like to join us, call Jane or Joan so we can add your name to the pot. Menu: gazpacho, salad, and fruit-sickles. We’ll use the time to swap ideas about how our congregations are responding to Moral Monday. Joan has two high school friends from Winston-Salem who will be joining us as well.
Etta brought a copy of the “Don’t Be Silenced” report card produced by Democracy NC. The sheet lists how all NC legislators voted on key legislation. Etta will look into obtaining more copies so we can distribute them at CUCC.
Consider attending the October 10 gathering of the NC NAACP. This meeting will be held in Rocky Mount. Rep. John Lewis will speak and a reception will honor the Moral Mondays arrestees.
We welcomed Cindy Hodges who answered our questions about registering people to vote. Cindy explained which parts of the form voters must complete. Anyone is allowed to hand out forms and to collect completed forms and return them to the Board of Elections. Wake residents’ forms go to the Wake BOE; other NC county residents’ forms can be delivered to the NC BOE. You may distribute copies you download from the BOE website or pick up copies at the BOE. The photo ID law (if passed) will not be implemented until 2016, so we don’t need to worry about that yet. Groups Cindy has worked with recommend that you deliver completed forms to the BOE within 24 hours of collecting them. Be sure to look over the form before the person walks away to ensure that all the information is legible and all required fields are completed.

Wake County Guide to Effective Voter Registration Guides
Location of Wake County Board of Elections: 337 S. Salisbury Street, Raleigh (ground floor of old county office building at corner of Salisbury and Davie)
Mailing address of Wake County Board of Elections: PO Box 695, Raleigh, NC 27602
Location of NC Board of Elections 441 North Harrington St, Raleigh (near 42nd Street Oyster Bar) Mailing address of NC Board of Elections: PO Box 27255, Raleigh, NC 27611-7255
The group discussed working with NAACP-NC to identify locations to register people to vote. It was also suggested that we print labels to affix to the forms so that people who choose to take them to fill out later will know where to mail them. We may want to sponsor a combined a voter registration/health care enrollment effort in October.
Tomorrow’s Moral Monday: Carpool to leave CUCC Dixie Trail parking lot at 4:30pm. This is probably the final opportunity to protest while the General Assembly is in session. If you plan to risk arrest, this is the day!
Let me know if I missed anything in the notes.
