Moral Monday comes to ASHEVILLE next week -- are you ready? Moral Mondays begin dispersing throughout state Now that the Legislature is out of session and a final "Moral Monday" protest drew a record number of participants this week, organizers plan to spread the even to local communities. On Aug. 5, a coalition of advocacy groups -- representing environmental, voting rights, health, the elderly, labor, religion and poverty interests -- plan to gather in a downtown Asheville park to keep the party going.

Of the people arrested in the protests in Raleigh, a sizable number were reportedly from Western North Carolina. projects.newsobserver/under_the_dome/moral_mondays_begin_dispersing_throughout_state
