NC GOVERNOR HAS NYSE PROTEST AT FUNDRAISER

A group of activists gathered outside the upscale fundraising dinner of state treasurer, Richard Moore, who is running for North Carolina governor and is the only governmental board member of NYSE. We proceeded to yell and chant through a bullhorn, embarrassing him in front of his rich, campaign donors. Groups of people from the dinner came out to watch us as we yelled, "HLS...Shut 'em on down!" At one point his campaign director came out to speak with us and request a meeting, but then called off all negotiation when we continued the protest, making it clear that Richard Moore's campaign is not a fan of the first amendment.

The police threatened to arrest folks once, but eventually gave up, even though his campaign director was visibly urging them to stop us. We let attendees know that we would be publicly exposing Moore until he talks to NYSE about dropping LSR from the Arca Exchange. Some of them were very receptive and said they would speak with him and some neighbors, especially children, were very supportive and gave protesters daffodils they had picked as presents. See you on the campaign trail, Richard!
