The 1000STRONG Coalition is a collective of individuals and organizations working to link the needs and concerns of the LGBTQ community with those of the civil rights community.
The 1000STRONG Coalition is organized by the NC NAACP's LGBTQ Committee, which exists to fight the stigma and exclusionary practices of the past. The Coalition seeks to gather a historic number of LGBTQ people and allies from throughout North Carolina for the 2020 Moral March on Raleigh & HKonJ People’s Assembly, taking place on February 8th.
HKonJ is an annual event where over 125 North Carolina NAACP branches, youth councils, and college chapters from across the state and members of over 200 other social justice organizations march to stand against legislative attacks on the people of North Carolina, and to demand that state leaders pass policies that protect the state's marginalized communities.
