Occupy Reincarnate: Moral Monday Coalition

Posted on August 7, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

While covering the Mountain Moral Monday story this week, some tweets using the hashtag #MoralMondays caught my eye. At first, it looked like they were part of the event I was covering, but when I tweeted a question about it I soon discovered these people were not in Asheville. They were in Chicago at the Palmer House Hilton being arrested for protesting an upcoming ALEC conference.

What I found out about one of the protesters arrested at this new version of Moral Monday tracked right back to North Carolina…. Keep reading… Continue reading →

Posted on July 2, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

They are not alone in their endeavors. The AFL-CIO of North Carolina has become involved in a project called FLOC – Farm Labor Organizing Committee. The President of which is Baldemar Velasquez. Continue reading →

Occupy 2.0: NC’s Triangle Jobs For Justice

Posted on June 30, 2013 by A.P. Dillon
