Moral Monday organizers are planning to hold a mass “Sit-In, Stand-In, Teach-In, Plan-In, Pray-In” at this week’s rally, expected to be the last demonstration held during the state legislature’s 2014 short session.

From the event announcement:

This is it. The North Carolina General Assembly will be passing the 2013-2014 budget next week, and we will no longer have any chance to fight for them to reverse course on these devastating policies. We are calling on EVERYONE to come to Raleigh next Monday, June 23 at 5 pm for a Mass Moral Monday on Halifax Mall. After the rally, we will reclaim the People’s House for meetings and teach-ins to start planning for the good work of voter mobilization, registration and education ahead of Nov. 4.

While arrests for civil disobedience are planned, protesters will not be required to risk arrest in order to participate in the sit-in, according to the NC NAACP. Demonstrators will be able to leave the building if asked by authorities.
