HKonJ: Hope in Action February 13th
Forward Together Not One Step Back
For the past 14 years, North Carolina UUs have joined the NAACP, labor unions, and social justice advocates for the annual HKonJ Moral March in Raleigh, marching and singing for justice in the rain and bitter cold of early February.
This year’s HKonJ event will be virtual and socially distanced due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
But we can still show up for justice on Feb. 13th for the virtual HKonJ march in solidarity with the North Carolina Poor People’s Campaign and UUJMNC Forward Together’s other social justice allies.
The Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HKonJ) People’s Assembly Coalition is made up of the more than 125 North Carolina NAACP branches, youth councils, and college chapters from across the state and members of over 200 other social justice organizations including the NC Poor People’s Campaign and UUJMNC.
