Tomorrow (March 16, 2015), the first Delaware Moral Monday will take the form of a Prayer-In on East Steps of Legislative Hall in Dover. From the press release:
The Complexities of Color Agenda is a holistic approach to health, wholeness, and justice designed by the community to improve the conditions of people of color within the community. The Complexities of Color Agenda [Link added by Ed.] addresses critical issues with sustainable solutions and lays, front and center, the ideology that “Black Lives Matter.”
The Complexities of Color Agenda implemented Moral Monday, a protest movement originated in North Carolina by the Rev. Dr. William Barber, head of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP. In Delaware, Moral Monday is observed by engaging in civil disobedience and organized marches, protests, and direct action against unfair treatment, discrimination, and adverse effects of government legislation on the citizens of Delaware.

The issues facing our state are both deeply spiritual and social. In response to the hyper-criminalization of people of color and the evident disparities present within the state’s criminal justice system, participants will gather to pray that the God of justice would intervene on behalf of the marginalized during this legislative session. Both specific and general criminal justice concerns will be at the forefront. The repeal of the death penalty, one such matter that will be introduced in the Senate on March 18, will be advocated.
They are arranging transportation for those who need it, but I imagine you need to get on that NOW — contact: info@theccagenda.org / 302-658-9883.
