That awkward moment when you join in on the “Moral March on Raleigh” in North Carolina in opposition of stricter voter ID laws and you are required to have some form of ID on you at all times.
That awkward moment happened in real life on Saturday when marchers were sent an important “do’s and don’ts” list by the event’s organizers — the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Here’s the list that was sent to the marchers by the NAACP. Read the fifth ‘do’ from the bottom:
The March, which has been going on for eight years now, protests the policies pushed by their Republican legislature and Gov. Pat McCrory. Like the March for Life held in D.C. every January, the protestors hope to send a message to their lawmakers.
This year’s march had five fundamental demands. The first four focus on labor, healthcare, public education and the criminal justice system. The last demand reads: “Protect and expand voting rights for people of color, women, immigrants, the elderly and students to safeguard fair democratic representation,” according to The Charlotte (N.C.) Post.
Just last year, Attorney General Eric Holder filed suit against the state of North Carolina for their voting laws because he sees them as discriminatory. Critics believe that the law targets elderly and African-American voters. The Attorney General also believes that Republicans only want voter ID laws to depress the votes of those who don’t support them politically.
