This week UNC students rallied at the State Capitol to protest policy changes that could make voting more difficult for some students.

The rally, which took place Monday, is part of a larger protest — Moral Mondays. For the last 18 weeks, North Carolina citizens have protested the state capitol every Monday…and now U-N-C students are joining the party.
