There is a post widely shared here stating that Sanders supporters are not welcome at today’s Moral Mondays march. This is a lie.
The march is organized by Reverend William Barber’s Moral Mondays movement, through the North Carolina NAACP — which does not endorse candidates. They cannot endorse. The march is about voting rights and justice.
This post states outright that Sanders supporters have been “told” not to show up. This is flat-out bullshit.
Those of us committed to the Moral Mondays movement and Rev. Barber apologize to him, to the movement, to HKonJ (Historic Thousands on Jones Street), the NAACP, and all the progressive activists who are marching today that this false message was recommended here.
Daily Kos members are at the March — and it makes no difference which candidate they support: the march is not about that.
Reverend Barber has called out that post from the stage, identifying it as the lie it is. People not regularly on Daily Kos don’t understand that the rec list is not managed by administration here, and so that post’s continuing presence here impugns all of Daily Kos as lying about the march.
This is ugly, Get the partisan bullshit away from one of the most powerful fusion movements happening in the U.S.
If you rec’d that post, please pull your rec, and inform the places you shared it that it is a lie.

We have unpublished the two diaries by the diarist, since Reverend Barber has announced this morning that these two diaries are completely in error. Reverend Barber has asked for the two reports to be taken down. And the diarist has been banned.
As you can see above, from staff, the post has been pulled and the diarist bojo’d. What can’t be undone is the harm done via social media. Thanks, all, for your response to this.
