Moral Mondays Makes a Return Next Week

on May 15, 2014

It has been announced that the NAACP-led “Moral Mondays” will make a return to Raleigh, North Carolina to protest against a wide swath of policies springing from the conservative state legislature. Blurring the line between nonviolent protest and poor political sportsmanship, the “Moral Mondays” attempts to fight against voter registration laws, cuts to welfare programs, political pro-marriage stances, and advances in pro-life commitments. While this scatter-shot of leftist gripes may lack legislative precision, it is united by strong religious overtones. Check out the official announcement trailer below to see what I mean:

Of course, these spiritual themes hide some rather humorous radicalism, which my colleague Alexander Griswold investigated in a previous blog post. Also be sure to read two other relevant articles here and here.
