Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HK on J)

9 Feb 2008 - 11:00am

LAST YEAR, the NC NAACP built a mighty coalition of 75
organizations that endorsed an anti-racism, anti-poverty and
antiwar People’s Agenda (see back). Over 5,000 of us
(representing thousands more) marched to the Legislature
on Jones Street, and HK on J (Historic Thousands on
Jones Street) was born.

Thousands tried to get our representatives – in Raleigh and in
their home offices – to change how they did business. We
won some victories. But many legislators kept doing the
people’s business behind closed doors. They thought we
would get tired and go away.

We’re not going anywhere! We’re just getting started! On
Saturday, February 9th, thousands of us will meet at
CHAVIS PARK, 505 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in Raleigh
and then we’ll go back to Jones Street.

Not Sure

I am either going to be there, or I am going to Maryland to help out Donna Edwards. Nothing certain yet.
