“Love Forward Together”: Faith Leaders in North Carolina Launch 50-Mile March for Social Justice #DemocracyNow!

Faith leaders in North Carolina are leading a three-day trek from Wilson to Raleigh in an event aimed at supporting “unabridged voting rights; living wages and ending poverty; welcoming immigrants,” and more. Reverend Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove spoke with _Democracy Now!_ from the march, saying that “love is the power that can overcome fear in this moment.” As North Carolina faces a President Trump-led gerrymandering effort, Wilson-Hartgrove hopes that the event will mobilize voters across the state.
