N.C. – Southern Vision Alliance will join with Beloved Community Center and partners on the Long March for Unity and Justice.

From September 20-29, we will traverse North Carolina, from Cullowhee to Wilmington, aiming to amplify the voices of all North Carolinians through community organizing, voting initiatives, grassroots education, and emphasize our nation’s crossroads: continue toward authoritarianism or expand democracy with greater freedom and wealth distribution.
