Inspiring Activism That the Corporate Media Always Ignores

Every week we are inspired by the many people throughout the country who are doing excellent work to challenge the power structure and put forward a new path for the country. The popular resistance to
plutocracy, concentrated wealth and corporatism is decentralized, creative and growing. One growing series of protests has been the “Moral Monday” demonstrations in North Carolina. 

They do not have ‘one demand’ but rather are challenging the systemic corruption, undermining of democracy and misdirection of a state government that puts human needs second to
corporate profits – which they have dubbed ‘Robin Hood in Reverse.’   This week 49 of 200 protesters inside the capitol were arrested singing, chanting and echoing many of the same concerns that demonstrators have for the past three Mondays.  Last week there were 30 arrests, the week
before 17.  Among those  arrested was an 83 year old retired minister, Vernon Tyson, who was merely a spectator, but he gave a great interview cheering on the protests after his release. And,  a group of historians were among those arrested who put these protests in the context of US history.
