Greeting Friends from beyond the borders of North Carolina, [Please share with everyone in your network and repost!] I want to share with you that there will be events taking place across the South and across the nation from August 22nd to 28th in state capitols. There will be events called Jericho Marches as part of the 7 Days of Action wherein people will gather each day in states that have denied Medicaid Expansion and hampered voting rights. The general pattern is that on each day at 3pm people will gather. The march will commence at 3:30 and circumnavigate the Capitol Building of your state, and at 4pm a rally/ prayers/ and press conference will be held on the Capitol grounds. Please contact your state NAACP office to find out if these events will be occuring in your state and to learn how you can participate. Below find a list of the emphases for each day in North Carolina. These may be the same as those for your state. -22nd Labor rights, fair and living wages, and economic justice -23rd Education and criminal justice -24th Equal protection under the law -25th Youth Moral Monday -26th Women’s rights -27th Medicaid Expansion and environmental health -28th Vote your dreams and not your fears [Final day and mass rally!] The mass rally on the 28th will be a point of emphasis in each participating state and we hope that you will be able to be in attendance, bearing witness to the need for moral governance that treats all people with the dignity and affirmation that God would authorize. May God bless you all in the work that you do to ensure justice in your midst. Gods Grace and Peace,
