HK on J7 - Mobilize with Thousands!

Join us on Saturday, Feb 9, 10am for the Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HK on J7) March and Rally. The theme this year is 'Mobilizing to End Poverty and Economic Injustice.'

The 2013-2014 NC Legislature is extremely unbalanced and making hasty decisions that will have long range, detrimental effects (as in House Bill 4: UI Fund Solvency and Program Changes which slashes unemployment benefits and Senate Bill 4: No NC Exchange/No Medicaid Expansion which blocks NC from expanding Medicaid coverage to cover more low income people and from providing its own insurance exchange). More bad bills are presented every day.

Stand up with other people and other organizations and be counted in protest!

Next step for Signature Ad Packets

The next step with the Pro-choice Sig Ad is to distribute them to our representatives in the NC Senate and NC House. We will make packets which include a copy of the signature ad and a letter from NC NOW, label them, and deliver them to our representatives.

Please email president@raleighnow.org if you can either help with putting the packets together (and specify availability day or night) or distributing them (and specify availability day or night). Sometimes when you distribute them, you get a chance to talk to representatives.
