Moral Monday is a strategy to tell the truth, no matter how ugly it is, Moral Monday is to expose the damage! #OurVotesAreDemands
Moral Monday's are not a one time gathering.. it is a deeply rooted multifaceted.. multiracial strategy to challenge in the face of the public, oppressive systems that hurt black people, brown people, indigenous people, white people, in other words all of God's creation
