Last Saturday myself and about 30 other Wilsonites traveled across the state of NC to Raleigh--the capital. We participated in the 8th annual Historic Thousand on Jones St. The peaceful protest took place to protest laws currently being passed and enforced in North Carolina. Everything from cuts to education, voting rights restrictions, to women's health to name a few. This was my first rally of any kind so I took the opportunity to be an observer and learn. I'm grateful for the experience and had a great time with 2,500 people taking over the city for a few hours (this included dancing through the streets towards the capital building with a handful of other Wilsoners. 'Twas grand!).
