MORAL MONDAY RALLY – ASHEVILLE
It is time to activate the voting power of poor, low-wealth, and low-wage people in WNC.
- 44% of North Carolinians are poor, low-wealth, and low-wage – a total of 4.6 million people
- 47% of NC workers – 2 million people – make less than $15 and hour
- 1 million people in NC have no health insurance
- Almost 40% of eligible voters in NC are poor, low-wealth, and low-wage
- Hundreds of thousands of registered poor, low-wealth, and low-wage voters did not turn out to vote in 2020
IF eligible poor, low-wealth, and low-wage voters in NC register and turn out to vote, they have the power to change the direction of our state and country
This fall DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, and JUSTICE are on the ballot! SAVE THE DATE and plan to join with others in our regional community who are committed to advancing democracy and justice for all in NC! THE UUFH Social Justice Team hopes to organize CAR POOLING for local UUFH attendees. Contact Charlotte Corrigan with your name and address to participate and aid organizing the needed pools.
