Abstract:

The Reverend William J. Barber is continuing the Moral Monday protests at the state legislature for the short session. Recently, the Legislative Services Commission updated the rules of the General Assembly making it easier to arrest protesters for making noise. Barber and 1,000 protesters responded with a silent protest. Barber has been outspoken against the new rules which he says limit democracy by silencing the people.
