Moral Mondays: A Southern Call to Conscience in Raleigh!
Start: Monday, September 29, 2025•11:00 AM
On Monday, September 29th, local impacted people, clergy, and leaders will deliver a casket to the office of Senator Ted Budd to represent the lives in North Carolina that will be lost as a result of the massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs.
The demonstration is part of the next phase of the Moral Monday Movement, led by Bishop William J. Barber, II and Repairers of the Breach, which brings together poor and low-wage people, impacted families, and clergy to confront lawmakers over the “Big, Bad, Ugly Deadly Destructive Budget Bill.”
On Monday, September 29, poor people, low-wage workers, clergy, advocates, and others harmed by the “Big, Bad, Ugly, Deadly Destructive Budget Bill” will lead protests at the district office of Senator Ted Budd to condemn Washington for codifying our nation’s largest-ever legislative transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Demonstrators will pray and deliver caskets to represent the North Carolinians who will likely die as a result of the healthcare cuts and slashes in the big, deadly bill.
A Southern Call to Conscience is part of a coordinated 12-state campaign spanning Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Virginia. Actions are taking place during the August recess, while members of Congress are home in-district, to hold them publicly accountable. Rooted in a tradition of Moral Fusion Organizing stretching back to the First and Second Reconstructions, these actions represent a burgeoning Third Reconstruction to demand justice for the poor and disinherited.
