State of Conflict: Bill Moyers on North Carolina’s Right-Wing Takeover & the Citizens Fighting Back | Democracy Now!

In 2013, more than 1,000 people were arrested in North Carolina
taking part in a series of protests called “Moral Mondays.” For 13
weeks, demonstrators rallied in the state capital of Raleigh to fight
moves by Republican lawmakers to attack voting rights, education, the
environment, healthcare and women’s rights. Now organizers are planning
their largest protest yet — the Moral March on Raleigh, scheduled for
February 8. The protests in North Carolina are the focus of a recent
special on Bill Moyers’ show "Moyers & Company." The documentary,
"State of Conflict: North Carolina," reveals how untraceable political
donations called "dark money" have pushed North Carolina far to the
right politically and how citizen protesters are fighting back. We air
an extended excerpt of Moyers’ report.
