‘At an event Barber hosted last fall, before the election, Biden told the group, “Ending poverty won’t be just an aspiration, but a way to build a new economy.” This, Barber told me, “was huge.”’ #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Welcome to the New Progressive Era

Progressives thought they knew what a Biden presidency would look like. How did they get him so wrong?Biden is clearly doing what he does best — gaslighting the left while catering to the same financial elites he’s served for his entire career. After he lied about $2,000 checks, a public option, a $15 minimum wage, when he’s still arming Saudi Arabia, destroying Yemen, putting kids in cages and waging the drug war, to believe that Biden will follow through on anything that leads to a peaceful, prosperous future is just insanity.
wonderful! sad that it scares so many people.
THEN AGAIN NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO US!!! LMAO
We’re at war with this dictator, now full load out is required🙏🇺🇸
How do those boots taste?
Joe Biden is NOT a Progressive. Stop pretending that he is.
Sure, if you like eternal war for eternal profit the way Biden wants. That's why the oligarchy chose him. Raytheon is so happy!
New Equitable ECONOMY! I'm listening Dr. Barber, tell me more. Link me in the inbox/private mail

(RNS) — "I hear Jesus saying to America: 'I was hungry and you filibustered,’" said the Rev. Freddy D. Haynes.Have you weighed the possibility of when or if the tables were to turn? Those Republicans are very vengeful wouldn't you say? 🤔 I agree something must be done about the malicious stone walling. It's always me, me, me, me with the vast majority of them. 😤

The Rev. Dr. Willam Barber II — an economic justice fighter who co-leads the revival of one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s last movements — will speak at a rally against the Byhalia Connection Pipeline Sunday.Dr. King's last words standing there before being assassinated were to his musician for the evening's worship and training service--to sing "Precious Lord, Take My Hand." I heard Mahalia Jackson sing it at the memorial service in the Morehouse College Quadrangle--an experience I will never forget.
“Highways constructed throughout Black and low-income neighborhoods suffocated once-thriving communities, putting residents through the trauma of losing their homes and communities.”

Pete Buttigieg was right, racism is built into American infrastructure. Highway construction destroyed Black neighborhoods across the country.🚨WATCH Christian leaders representing hundreds of thousands across the country join the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, in releasing a joint statement that calls on the White House and Congress to end the filibuster and quickly pass legislation to protect voting rights, defend democracy, ensure living wages and expand labor rights.

Time for true democracy that we have never had!
We should stop supporting those who suppress civil rights and inclusion voting rights by all means of selected.buying and peaceful collective actions.
Amen! To not address how the filibuster impedes addressing the problems hurting our people would be, to quote Bishop Barber, “pastoral malpractice.”
Min wage was half of rescue package that was removed. We want a government that works for the people. Don't want a say no do nothing Congress. End filibuster
WV passed a horrible law against transgender kids playing sports. WV passed charter schools which are legal segregation on taxpayers. Discrimination and racism
"All these struggles are part of our highly regressive political system that, even under the best of circumstances, would lead to a constitutional crisis. That’s built in: you cannot continue to function as a democratic society under the radically anti-democratic provisions of the Constitution. The most extreme case, of course, is the Senate, which awards two votes per state." --Noam Chomsky, 15 March 2021 on Alternative Radio. We need to drill deep into the morality of our democratic republic's barriers, and much of the church folk, especially in white, rural, American Protestant churches, are too afraid to trust others proclaiming justice as progress -- including elected representatives in our government.
When are another 40 days of civil disobedience happening?
Wvirgians stopped the voter suppression bills for now but we need federal laws to help.
There is too much corruption, greed, racism, corporate power over us. This whole nation has to take the power back! The government and corporations have too much power over us. Our countries leaders work for us, some of us forgot that. We got rasists, sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists, megalomaniacs, egocentrics as our leaders our elected in our houses of justice. They need to get out of the peoples house. The people need to speak up, organize, we are all leaders! Leaders empower more leaders. We cannot allow this to continue.
We must be the hands, feet, and heart of our Creatir!
We got to stop global wars. We got to stop funding the war machine!
We have more than two political parties in this country to choose from. Be aware of dishonest false people. Reaserch the candidate and their track record. Don't vote for the lesser of the evils.
LAWS THAT MAKE VICTIMS...
