Overview

Embark upon a revolutionary journey with THE LONG MARCH FOR UNITY & JUSTICE, a monumental statewide endeavor to reclaim the power of “WE THE PEOPLE.” Join us in September 2024 as we travel the diverse landscapes of the great state of NC, lifting our voices to make visible our desire for transformation and healing. Together we will march from the majestic mountains of Cullowhee to the historic port city of Wilmington.

Our commitment goes beyond merely raising visibility; it’s a movement fueled by our collective dissatisfaction with the growing threats to our voice, and our votes. We will use the collective power of community, civic education, and artistic expression to amplify the voices of all North Carolinians. Our ultimate goal is to grow a statewide movement for change along the way.

Join us as we march toward a brighter future, where unity and justice are not just lofty ideals, but tangible realities for all.
