Thousands of people took to the streets today in North Carolina’s capital city. HK on J (Historic Thousands on Jones Street) is an annual civil rights and progressive issue-based march in Raleigh, NC. The 6th annual march happened this morning. It was really empowering to see so many people there supporting equality, voting rights, and social justice.
I saw old friends, made new contacts, and even saw Representative Miller there as well who I hope will run for governor. There were a lot of folks out there supporting LGBT equality and opposing the marriage discrimination amendment too.
