North Carolina's LGBTQ Community Stands Against Domestic Terrorism Laura Flanders and Friends

    • Society & Culture

Join Laura Flanders as she speaks with residents of Moore County affected by a targeted power outage during a drag show, uncovering potential motives behind the sabotage.

Last December, an attack on two electrical substations in Moore County, North Carolina left 45,000 households and businesses without power for up to five days. It was the biggest domestic terrorist attack on the electricity grid in the U.S. Did the sabotage attack have anything to do with LGBTQ harassment or the drag performance scheduled that night?
