I found this information in High Country Press (Boone).  - from Jane Smith


The North Carolina NAACP is also announcing the following next steps for the Forward Together Movement [the HKonJ project title for Moral Mondays]:
  • Voting rights will headline the 12th Wave of protests on July 22, and their impact on public education and criminal justice.
  • The 13th Wave will be an interfaith assembly on July 29. A permit for the State Capitol facing Fayetteville Street has been submitted.
  • Throughout the month of August, local Moral Mondays will take place in select cities and communities across the state.
  • Each of the growing number of Moral Monday participants will be asked to register 50 people.
  • On August 28, the Forward Together Movement will honor the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington with events in each of the 13 congressional districts in North Carolina, including one at the State Capitol.
  • Clergy will deliver special sermons throughout the weekend on August 24 and 25 in advance of the Anniversary.
  • North Carolinians are mobilizing for the 50th Anniversary March on Washington, planned for August 24, 2013 in Washington DC.
