'We Are Movement, Not a Moment': North Carolina Peaceful Uprising Continues

 

'If you thought you had a fight a month ago, you ain't seen nothing yet,' say protest leaders as 151 arrested

Yesterday's protest, according to local outlet WRAL, was the largest demonstration yet since the state chapter of the NAACP and other civil rights groups began protesting "GOP policies on social programs, education, criminal justice and taxes" more than five weeks ago. Smaller groups of people had been arrested at previous actions, but each time the number grows as more people attend and the group's energy increases.

"The people are awake now, and we have decided to stand up," state NAACP chapter president Rev. William Barber told the crowd Monday. "We are a movement. This is not a moment."

"We are a movement. This is not a moment." –Rev. William Barber
Welcoming the comparison of the populist energy in North Carolina to that witnessed previously in Wisconsin in 2011, Barber said there were also differences. "This ain’t Wisconsin,” he told the crowd. “This is the South, where justice was hammered out.”

This video released by the coalition articulates their grievances in North Carolina as it seeks to capture the energy feeding the movement:
