Background on CUCC and Moral Mondays/Forward Together
Sparked by the NC legislative session of 2013, the NAACP of North Carolina sent out a call to the HKonJ coalition to gather in Raleigh to proclaim a more loving vision for our state. Called Moral Mondays, these weekly assemblies were part celebration and part protest. Inspired by speeches and chants, the crowd stood in witness to the General Assembly. Some among those gathered chose to risk arrest as they took their message to their legislators in the building.
Members of CUCC responded to the call, prompted by the 2012 vote of the congregation to seek economic justice for all. Dozens attended the rallies; a handful chose to risk arrest (p. 9). As Moral Mondays became Forward Together, an ad hoc Moral Monday group met regularly: organizing voter registration drives, assistance to people who will need photo IDs or rides to the polls, and participation in the ongoing rallies.
With fall Forum starting September 1, the ad hoc group decided to move its work to email. If you would like to be part of that emailed exchange of opportunities to do voter registration, photo IDs and driving to the polls, contact Jane Smith.

Future voter registration, photo ID, and driving to the polls efforts - ask Jane to put your name on the email list. You can initiate projects and invite others to help you, or you can volunteer for projects that others have initiated. Because the Moral Mondays/Forward Together ad hoc group won't be meeting regularly, these emails are how we will keep in touch.
