“Throughout history, it has been movements led by those most impacted by injustice and poverty, with faith communities and moral leaders as standard-bearers involved, that have fundamentally transformed society.”
Congratulations to our campaign co-chair & Kairos Center Director, Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, one of several #PoorPeoplesCampaign leaders named on the Center for American Progress’ list of faith leaders to watch in 2020!
Faith Leaders To Watch in 2020 - Center for American Progress

Each of these leaders is working to ensure that their faith communities participate in U.S. democracy.As much as I Love the thought I am going to have to leave this movement, religious leaders and churches have been bought with 501c3 and have done a poor job! Teaching Us as a people to Turn the other cheek and get by to get by and on the Other Side is where we get Our Due..... Hogwash!
Yes to this.
To give up your own humanity, no wonder you don't care about humanity as a whole. As you' all walk in the shadow of death, not even hell frightens you all to do the right thing. I understand the demands that have been put on you by work and your home life. They are an insistent and peremptory request, made as if it right to demand it of you. Like if you have no say in the matter. They wish you to work hard and meet high standards. To fulfill, there needs to have a variety and diverse lifestyle. Their demand is full of denoting a type of behavior and personality characterized by indirect resistance to the requirements of others and an avoidance of direct confrontation, as in procrastinating, pouting, and misplacing essential materials. They have a variety and diverse tactics of passive-aggressive. They avoidance extended contact and due to their lack of confidence, shame, guilt, and a host of other negative emotions. They try to get you to fulfill their need to not feel less than and there needs to be better then. In the work involvement, they will have as many people around you just like them. Have you seen friends and family members try these same tactics in their life? This tactic has been futile with you and counterproductive. Throughout history, the true slave was the master. The enslaved master thoughtless of themself and surrounded themselves with others that thoughtless of themself. The enslaved master intolerance toward those who hold different opinions of oneself. As the years pass the enslaved master became freer from there less them belief system of self. Have you noticed that equal right was about freeing the enslaved master from their diminished capacity system to believe in oneself fully? The free thinkers that have acceptance of oneself share their values of acceptance fully in all they do and say. Investing in oneself fully and completely is the only way to free the enslaved master. They will see you and hear you in all that you do. You will be showing them you can and know they can be free from their enslaved mentality.
12% of the US population (40 million people) could be evicted despite new executive order. #PoorPeoplesCampaign
40 million people could be evicted despite new executive order. That's 12% of the US population

President Trump's executive order on evictions doesn't actually renew protections. Here's what you need to know.Where can I get a roll of tRump Executive Order Toilet Paper? - And a marker! Get me a marker!!!!
Time for massive tent city at White House and Congress.
How do you vote without a physical address? This is probably why the republicans aren't helping and getting a deal done.
Where can they go? What is the point of evicting when there's barely anyone left to take up a lease on the property?
We need a "Trump resign" campaign
This exec order does nothing but provide cover for DT.
Happening Now no waiting----
not fair.

The executive order was another one of the Donald's cons.
“(Congresswoman) Moore is planning to do everything in her power to move the needle on national poverty. It’s why she’s both passionate and excited about one proposal in particular: an expansion on the Earned Income Tax Credit. Moore explains that her expansion would take into consideration the 140,000,000 people that the #PoorPeoplesCampaign under Rev. Liz Theoharis and Rev. William Barber focuses on. “The people with low wealth,” Moore further iterates. It would also provide funding to those who can’t find affordable housing and adequate food on their low wages.”

Unleashing the Power of Poor and Low-Income Americans
www.poorpeoplescampaign.org
The votes of poor and low-income Americans can make a difference in our elections.This campaign which I participated in on June 2020 changed the way I look at our Country and it touched my heart!
Congrats to the lucky winners yesterday. The first 30 people to message me directly will earn a payment of $1500 to $3500 before midnight. The offer starts now
“If poor people voted at levels similar to their higher-income neighbors’, not only could their voting power flip swing states, but also, according to the report, they could crack the “Solid South” that Republicans have counted on for decades by flipping North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Arizona.” -Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II & Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

A historic low-income-voter turnout in 2020 would mean a victory for Democrats.PLEASE! I’m Begging! EVERYONE WHO WOULD VOTE BLUE, DO IT! We need to show the world that we care about this country!
You know it. It's why voter suppression is so important to this regime.
Explains why they closed a bunch of polling stations and minority locations. also explains why they don't bring enough voting booths etc to prevent hours-long waits. Hourly workers can't stay in line for 12 hours
Except for all the racist voter-suppression actions by the repugnican'ts.
voter suppression is in full swing I am able to vote early & in person & I'm going with my husband & father in law.
Vote and bring others along with you so they can vote as well. Vote early where you can or vote by mail and encourage all you know to vote. Teach your children. Take them with. Show them how important it is. We are in the trouble we are in because too many don’t vote.
I will be voting for nation wide riots this November.
We all have to do what we can to get out the vote. I'm writing letters for the Sierra Club and postcards for Moms Rising (supporting the USPS too 🙂), and there are many other opportunities.
Lets come out of Egypt. Go vote blue
Poor. Sick uneducated. Is where the gop wants our country to be. We need Popeye's food and get healthly. Goals and strategy get healthly in any You can and sets good goals going forward. Health is very important.
VOTE & vote in person if you can. A high price has been paid for our right to vote.
#VoteBlueViaMail#FightFascism
This is why rethuglicans are doing everything in their power to suppress the vote in black and brown communities.
1st of all YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME for this failure of a system. It’s virtually impossible for you to find out enough about who's running for office to chose the best candidate. It’s also virtually impossible for you to monitor everything they’re doing or help correct any mistakes because you lack the power they have. And, the ones we elect who appoint others to help run this country are supposed to decrease abuse of power, corporate corruption… There’s a reason why those running this country seem to act as though the only law that applies to them is the one that says, “IF YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT, IT’S LEGAL”. Most of us know enough about those running for the highest office in the land but most of us also know virtually NOTHING about anyone below this level who do most of the governing in this country. Presidential races get a level of attention and scrutiny far above any state or local race but even they fall short of what they should be. Too many of us know so little about who’s in charge and we have no way of corrected the problems they create. WE DO NOT HAVE A CHECK & BALANCE SYSTEM THAT’S CAPABLE OF PREVENTING THE ABUSES OF POWER THAT THE LEAST POWERFUL ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS! This is why you can NOT elect your way into creating the kind of government your hoping for. Even if you recorded all emails, phone conversations… then reported the abuse you experienced you’re still completely dependent on your abusers or someone else in charge of the system that abused you to fix the problem. If America were a Democracy instead of a Republic then you would have the right to propose, ratify, amend and repeal. Then you would have the power to improve our system of government instead of being completely dependent on the elected and those they appoint. Unless you enjoy waiting until things become so catastrophic that the screaming and bleeding in the streets can’t be ignored any longer then, your main goal should be to replace our Republic with a Democracy.
Not Trump. Not Biden and Kamala.
Firearms owners Will! Lmfao
Vote Blue
And yet the democrats continue to ignore them. Sad, they'd rather have republicans than poor minorities.
The excuse of scarcity is a myth. We have all seen how fast the gov’t conjures up cash for corps. If we enliven & enlarge the electorate & build the political will, affordable housing, quality schooling, clean water & health care for all will follow.
