2. North Carolina's "Moral Mondays" interfaith effort to protest legislators who are cutting

Social Programs rolling back Voting Rights legislation, access to Family Planning and gutting state Environmental Regulations is one example I think of Progressive actions people with religious beliefs can join forces together for positive outcomes.

"Nuns on the Bus" is another effort. Unitarians are involved in many civil liberties issues and the Quakers work for peace.

We need to get beyond believing that political parties are able to do much for Democratic Rights and further protecting us on workers rights and social issues (Given the Citizen's United decision) and particularly the vocal RW Fundamentalists who are so tied to the Republican Big Funders that they are almost fused in the agenda that has caused tremendous damage to our country in these past decades.
