Thank you to the 168 preachers, rabbis, and imams who came together this July 4th weekend to do, as Frederick Douglass called us to do 168 years ago today: rouse the conscience, startle the propriety, and expose the hypocrisy of this nation. #ForwardTogether bit.ly/ppcjubilee
"America has to be real careful with who she calls violent. Because when you deny health care, that's violent. Cause people die. When you deny living wages and 700 people die a day from poverty, that's violence." -Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Black activists explain why we need protests to change America for good

"Justice is the absolute deterrer for riots and for social unrest."Time to evaluate who the f* America is actually for!
How many felt trolled once some things became obvious 😬😅 this quarantine gave people to much time to think, huh?
So much violence is done under the guise of social systems.
Poverty is violence

#BlackWomenInSocialWork definitely need to be apart of these conversations where they may be able to speak openly and honestly about the systemic issues that are wrapped up in the guise of social support. I no longer practice as a SW in the traditional sense, but polices are not on the side of the marginalized. We know what governs their work. Black Girls in Social Work
Systemic violence becomes invisible but keeps the rage boiling in those that are victimized
Beverly, Why don’t you speak to your priest yourself? Be the change.
I wish Reverend Barber would speak to my Catholic priest who gave a harsh sermon about violent protesters being out of line or something like that this morning. I wanted to stand and explain how protesting is what Jesus did when he shooed and yelled at the money changers in the temple to leave. The opportunities for good education and employment that was almost available to many in the US some thirty years ago have all but evaporated. Yes, scatter the money takers whose greed is insatiable.

What to the Freedom and Justice Movements of Today is the Fourth of July?: 168 years after Frederick Douglass delivered a stirring critique of the nation by asking, "What to the slave is the 4th of July?", Bishop William J. Barber, II delivers his own rendition by addressing our current pandemics - poverty, racism, and the virus.
Thank you , Rev for putting in the words ...poor people...on the front page of the United States 🇺🇸 we appreciate it. thank you so so much🙏🏾❤️✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽
Our country has a poverty in it’s soul that is reflected in the way the poor are treated. Our faith should give us the power to see God’s face in each person in our country and world.
I'm Jewish. America became the land of the dream for my ancestors. We have to strive to make it so for all the forgotten, ignored, oppressed, and dispossessed.
America is STILL sick!!
A powerful message by Rev. Barber on reforms needed for America to be a nation "with liberty and justice for all".
We also need judicial accountability. Judges should not be above the law.
I wish your message could be really heard in all white churches across our country! That all could open their ears and hearts to what you are saying!
As long as this happens America will remain sick.
thank you for helping us worship God in spirit and in truth and for trying to improve our country to live up to its ideals
Yes! No one hates America but because hate is reviled that's what America will claim to deflect the lies
Dr. Kings gave us the RIGHT messages decades ago - did we listen - NO! Should be ZERO dropout these days but that didn't happen. We always need fixing by someone else except US.
Chicago July 4th: Boy, 14, among 4 killed in Englewood shooting that hurt 4 others amid violent weekend 1,200 more police officers on Chicago streets from Thursday to Sunday

Freedom for all from around the world living in USA under the Lord Jesus Christ
A voice crying out from the wilderness of poverty
The corporate media is trying to ignore him. It won't work. Word of mouth will carry the message ;)
The hypocrisy of America must continue to be exposed.
”Justice, justice you are to pursue.”
Thank you for your service for all Black people need 🙏 and your service.And have a good you and your family and friends.
The hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed
Yes, Lisa, thanks for the reminder :)
God is our protector,, not man
Don't just have a religious service!
The worship songs are uplifting. Thank you Jesus.
Trump, your Garden of Heroes is sleight of hand. You want to focus on monuments, but your policies have undermined voting rights, health care, immigrant justice & protections for the American people, esp poor & low wealth. @RevDrBarber #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Historians question Trump's 'heroes,' plans for national garden monument
Among the combative and unusual way President Donald Trump chose to celebrate Independence Day, some historians were particularly puzzled Saturday by ...

The pandemics of racism (COVID-1619) and COVID-19 afflicting America beg for a moral vaccine that will heal a nation whose virus from birth has precluded the healthy possibilities of liberty and justice for all. I join with my colleagues of conscience to offer a prophetic vaccine https://twitter.com/unitethepoor/status/1279420469452713984
"I am participating this weekend in the tradition of Frederick Douglass who eloquently put a moral mirror to America offering her a chance to change by facing what she needs to fix.” -@fhunscripted #4thofJuly #PoorPeoplesCampaign http://startribune.com/religious-leaders-to-invoke-frederick-douglass-on-july-4th/571620182/
Preachers, rabbis, and imams are coming together this #4thofJuly weekend to do, as #FrederickDouglass called us to do: rouse the conscience, startle the propriety, and expose the hypocrisy of this nation. #PoorPeoplesCampaign http://bit.ly/ppcjubilee
This #4thofJuly weekend we say it plain & in our faith traditions: America is still not yet what she proclaimed to be! “Life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness” have become hypocrisy while black Americans are continuously brutalized! #PoorPeoplesCampaign http://bit.ly/ppcjubilee
America is still not yet what she was proclaimed to be! Not while the money runs out & rent is due for 140 mil poor & low-income folks, & while #COVID19 cases rise & essential workers are sacrificed to this system. #PoorPeoplesCampaign #4thofJuly http://bit.ly/ppcjubilee
