Frank Eaton films Hallie
2013 turned out to be a big year for activism. As soon as our Republican governor took office, our right-wing state legislature went to town dismantling state government (that is, except for a few juicy positions given to the governor’s cronies). A lot of citizens of our state are hurting now and instead of working to assist them, our state leaders are piling on the pain.
Times like these require standing up and being heard. That’s why our family attended a number of Moral Monday protests in Raleigh. That’s why we aren’t letting these guys off the hook come election time.
Hallie also got involved with activism this year, helping assemble the iMatterYouthNC climate rally and march on Halifax Mall. It took a lot of work and could have used more participants but at the very least it was an education in how these things are done. Hopefully it will spur other kids to join the cause, too.
