Interested in taking part in one of the upcoming Moral Monday protests and rallies at the N.C. General Assembly? Want to participate in a Kossack meetup?
We have many fine qualities in Raleigh, North Carolina, but public transit and parking aren't two of them. Some of us are parking near Tyler's Restaurant and Taproom in Seaboard Station and walking the three blocks to the base of Halifax Mall on the General Assembly campus. Here's a Google Map link.
The rally and protest begin at 5 p.m. Some people come earlier, and some people come closer to 6 p.m., because parking is a real hassle until business hours in downtown Raleigh wrap up.
The Moral Monday civil-disobedience action generally starts around 6:15 p.m. or later, depending on the speakers' schedules for the rally and how many have stepped forward to be arrested for singing and praying inside the General Assembly Building hallways.
Those who wish to get information about being arrested can attend a 3 p.m. meeting at a nearby church. Churches trade off hosting these sessions, so check the NAACP-NC website for that information. If you choose to risk arrest by consciously violating General Assembly rules as part of the Moral Monday event, it is mandatory that you attend one of these sessions and speak with someone from the legal-defense team.
Transportation to the N.C. General Assembly from the church is provided, as is transportation from the Wake County Detention Center back to the church after folks are released from detention.
