UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour - Friday, April 5th at 11:00am. Marking 10 Years since the Bathroom Bill. In the spring of 2016, the NC General Assembly passed HB2, a bill that required transgender individuals to use public bathrooms corresponding to the sex on their birth certificate. This week, Artie Hartsell will join us to discuss how the fight for Trans rights in NC has continued over the last decade.
