With
the State Capitol Police Refusing to Arrest and Speaker Thom Tillis
Refusing to Meet with Fifteen Moral Witnesses, the North Carolina NAACP
and the Forward Together Moral Movement Settle in for a Long Night at
the NC General Assembly
RALEIGH,
NC - After state capitol law enforcement cleared the hallway in front
of Speaker Thom Tillis' office in the face of the North Carolina NAACP
and the Forward Together Moral Movement's action, Chief Jeff Weaver
announced that they did not plan to make any arrests and that the
confirmed 15 moral witnesses currently sitting in the Speaker's office.
"Speaker
Thom Tillis and his aides have refused to engage in a serious
discussion over the deep and weighty issues, and now they are playing a
waiting game in hopes that we will lose heart, pack up and go home,"
said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the North Carolina
NAACP. "But we are not here to play games. These are serious,
life-and-death questions. Where can the unemployed go for help? Where
can those hardworking North Carolinians without health care access?
Where can those who have been disenfranchised? We shall not be moved. We
are settling in for a long night at the General Assembly. "

I support them totally.
