I was interviewed about Prop 8, NC Against Hate (the name of Raleigh's the Join the Impact rally) and the Equality NC conference on WUNC's The State of Things with Frank Stasio today. Appearing with me was rally organizer Will Elliott:
Last Tuesday's historic election wasn't all good news for progressive politics. In California, voters passed Proposition 8, which created a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Its passage has ignited activism for equal rights across the country, including right here in North Carolina. A grassroots group called NC Against H8 is organizing a rally for equal rights in downtown Raleigh on Saturday. Organizer Will Elliott and blogger Pam Spaulding, editor of pamshouseblend.com, discuss why what's happening in California matters to everyone.
