SUMMARY:Moral March on Raleigh
DESCRIPTION:The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is bringing a Moral Monday March on Raleigh to the steps of the state legislature on Jones Street. In North Carolina\, we know the power of bringing together a fusion coalition of people around a common set of demands. The state legislature continues to drive its extremist agenda using voter suppression and gerrymandered maps. Their policies are disproportionately hurting the 4.6 million poor and low-income people of our state. And the US Congress has failed thus far to pass real support that would fill the gap. We are coming to Raleigh to put our state and federal elected officials that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t… we won’t… we refuse to be silent anymore! \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh is part of a 10-stop mobilization tour toward the Mass Poor People’s and Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022. \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh will lift up the voices of impacted people from across NC as well as Virginia and South Carolina\, joined by faith leaders\, moral allies\, and artists to demand that NC and this whole nation do MORE to live up its possibilities. \nRead more about how you can join us in Raleigh for the Poor People Campaign’s Moral March!

In addition to this public meeting\, the Department will hold two technical stakeholder workgroup meetings in November and December. Stakeholders for the technical workgroups represent community groups\, environmental justice organizations\, environmental advocacy organizations\, state and federal agencies\, academia and industry. DEQ also plans to hold three public hearings in early 2022 to receive comments on the draft general permits as part of its public engagement process. \nEvent title: Public Input Meeting on Animal Waste Management Digester System General Permits\nDate and Time: Tuesday\, December 14\, 2021\, 6-9 p.m.\nWebex Link: https://bit.ly/3EA15Gn\nEvent Password: AFOPermit2021 (23673764 from phones)\nMeeting Number (Access Code): 2431 249 0753\nBy Phone: +1-415-655-0003 US TOLL \nMembers of the public who wish to speak at the December 14 meeting should sign up by 5 p.m. on December 13.

Note: Additional opportunities for public comments on the draft general permits will be announced in early 2022. \nCurrently\, digester systems are processed as modifications to a facility’s existing permit. Section 11 of the 2021 Farm Act (Senate Bill 605) established specific requirements for the development of the Digester System General Permits. The new general permit will include all of the existing and enforceable requirements of the 2019 State General Animal Waste Management Permits\, including developing and maintaining a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan\, and complying with siting\, buffer\, testing\, inspection and reporting requirements. \nThe Digester System General Permits stakeholder process will focus on permit conditions specific to the implementation of digesters. Summaries of the technical workgroup sessions will be posted online prior to the Public Input Meeting. The goal of this stakeholder process is to provide a meaningful opportunity for public engagement in the general permit development process. \nAdditional information and updates on the stakeholder process are available online.
