NAACP, others seek sit-down with McCrory
The group behind the "Moral Monday" protests has requested a meeting with Gov. Pat McCrory about the elections changes bill.
Posted — Updated"We hope you will take the time to do a complete review of the extremist positions that were thrown together in this bill," he writes. "As you make this review, we respectfully request you meet with members of the Forward Together Movement before you decide about whether or not to veto it."
Barber said Monday that follow-up calls to the Governor's Office have not been successful.
Organizers were holding a "Mountain Moral Monday" protest in Asheville Monday evening.
McCrory said in June that he had no wish to meet with the protesters. Last month, he told the Wilson Times he "go[es] out in the crowd all the time" at the protests, but there have been no reports of any such appearances.
