So, I had a great birthday yesterday, but I need to get y'all's help with something.
I need y'all to help me hold @NCPublicSafety and @NCDOA accountable for giving a platform to a Holocaust denier this coming Saturday. (1/9)
The NC Sons of Confederate Veterans is holding its 31st annual Confederate Flag Day. The attached screenshot has a bit of the valueless bilge these white supremacists are looking to share, but the relevant part is who their 'Flag Day Chairman' is: Boyd Cathey. (2/9)pic.twitter.com/k1vvJgjFTa
Boyd Cathey is a Holocaust denier. Moreover, he was on the board for the Institute for Historical Review, probably the most prominent Holocaust denialist organization out there. (3/9)https://twitter.com/SmashRacism919/status/1099067994439852032 …
Boyd Cathey and the NC Sons of Confederate Veterans have also been granted a permit and access to North Carolina's historic state capitol smack in the middle of Raleigh. (4/9)
Meanwhile, student organizers at NCSU looking to counter-protest this vile and egregious use of public property have been dealing with harassment from the school's administration. (5/9)https://twitter.com/authcom19/status/1100167846791954433 …
Including one organizer being brought up on bogus student conduct charges by the administration stemming from a charge last year at UNC during the protests against Silent Sam. (6/9)https://twitter.com/authcom19/status/1100157473242136576 …
Please give these following people a call and ask them to not use public facilities to provide a platform to Holocaust deniers like Boyd Cathey (7/9): NC Dept. of Administration - Facilities Management Division 919-733-3514 State Capitol Chief of Police R.E. Hawley 919-890-3935
And hell, giving your State House Rep or State Senator a call on the topic wouldn't be half-bad either, especially if they sit on the State or Local Government Standing Committees in either chamber. (8/9)
You can find a list of House members on that committee here (https://www.ncleg.gov/Committees/CommitteeInfo/HouseStanding/32#Membership …) and state Senators on the equivalent here (https://www.ncleg.gov/Committees/CommitteeInfo/SenateStanding/149#Bills …) (9/9)
This is Boyd Cathey, the SCV's Flag Day chairman. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/boyd-cathey …
