I just can’t believe what I’m reading today, on the my Twitter Feed, #SB2
Extremely disappointed in @joeldford and @SenatorClark in voting for #SB2 which goes against everything Democrats stand for #ncga #ncpol
— Colby Moore (@ColbyLMoore) February 25, 2015
under this bill, they can also refuse to married interracial couples too.. Welcome back the days of Jim Crow
Confirmed: #ncga sponsors of #SB2 say magistrates can indeed object to performing "interracial marriages" under this bill. Any marriage.

Sen. Newton says magistrates were somehow 'bullied" into performing same-sex marriages. (cuz, you know, it was the law.) #ncga #SB2
— Equality NC (@equalitync) February 24, 2015
Newton uses "not water boarding" as a metaphor for how magistrates won't be asked to define their beliefs under #SB2. Water boarding. #ncga

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tom Wolf, NC NAACP - tom@naacpnc.org or 504-940-4441 NC NAACP and Forward Together Moral Movement Call on Governor and General Assembly Leaders to Let North Carolinians Vote on Raising Minimum Wage in 2016 DURHAM, NC: The NC NAACP and Forward Together Moral Movement sent a letter to the Governor and leaders in the General Assembly this afternoon, asking them to let North Carolinians vote on raising the minimum wage and indexing it to inflation on the 2016 ballot. Their request comes little more than a week after they launched a change.org petition inviting North Carolinians to voice their support for the measure. It also comes less than four months after four Republican-led states -- Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota -- voted to raise their minimum wages. ### The NAACP, formed in 1909, is the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the U.S. Its members are the consciences of their communities on civil rights. The NC Conference of NAACP Branches, formed 70 years ago, has grown to over 100 Adult, Youth and College branches. With the consistent support of 170 partners in the Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HKonJ) Coalition, it was the Moral Monday/Forward Together Moral Movement architect. |
