Full house at McKendree UMC in downtown Nashville, where a Moral Monday rally led by @RevDrBarber will start. The rally will lead into a March to the state Capitol. 
For more details on the event:
An even fuller house as the program starts in a couple minutes.
Spoken to people here who are from Nashville and heard about the event from their local church, and to another person who drove down from New Hampshire. So, those in attendance are from all over.

We are gathered here today to declare our independence from the corporate lobbyists who control the narrative about what is possible here on Capitol Hill.
For too long we have heard promises during campaigns that fade into disappearing dreams at the end of each Congressional session because somebody somewhere says it’s just not possible to get it done.
The BBB will pay for itself if Manchin would stop pushing tax cuts! As @POTUS said, “17 Nobel Prize winners in economics have said my plan will ‘ease inflationary pressures.’ And my plan does this w/o raising taxes on those making less than $400K or adding to the federal debt.”
Manchin is just a coward and a liar. Why won’t he just say, “I don’t care about the poor and low-wealth people in my state or the nation. I’m owned by my corporate funders, and I follow whatever the Wall Street Journal says”?
If Manchin had integrity, he’d sit w/ the 17 Nobel-winning economists, but he won’t b/c he’s a man of weak character who tries to fashion himself as a savior of the ppl. But like his dad & uncle before him, he’s a WV con artist politician who’ll let poor of his own state suffer.

We were told during the impeachment trials that Congress can do more than one thing at a time. Why aren’t we talking about voting rights, living wages, reparations, police reform, immigrant justice, climate justice, etc. now?

Sen. Manchin is on the wrong side of poor and low-wealth people in his state and in the country.

The filibuster has been used in bad ways, and for Sen. Manchin to continue to use it is wrong.
Nothing was wrong with the For The People Act, which the late Rep. John Lewis actually wrote. We don’t need Manchin’s “Freedom to Vote Act.” Voting is a right, not a freedom.

The #PoorPeoplesCampaign Women’s Moral March on Washington & Nonviolent Direct Action is this #MoralMonday July 19, at 11am ET, beginning at the U.S. Supreme Court.
TX Democratic legislators had to leave the state to lift the nation. They are lifting the need for full For the People Act, full Voting Rights Advancement Act, full $15 minimum wage & end of the non-constitutional filibuster.
But if they had to leave TX, some of us must go there. This is why the TX PPC, other groups, @fhunscripted, @BishopJDixon, other orgs & many poor & low wealth impacted people using Covid protocols are going to march from Georgetown, TX to Austin July 27-31.
After we launch a season of nonviolent moral direct action in DC on #MoralMonday July 12, I’m accepting an invitation to join @Texas_PPC, @MsLaToshaBrown, @fhunscripted, @betoorourke & others fighting voter suppression on the ground in Texas.
Mr. President & Madam Vice President, come to these states. Meet w/ poor & low-wealth Black, white, brown, native, Asian people in the streets & hear from them, activists, & moral leaders. We will work w/ you to pull that meeting together.
The people directly impacted by extremism are the heartbeat of the resistance & moral courage. These struggles are our Selma!
Democracy vs autocracy is the battle of our time. The longer Manchin, Sinema & McConnell’s obstructionists refuse to break a nonconstitutional filibuster to pass the full For the People Act, they undercut America’s moral authority in the face of autocracies around the world.
The majority of Americans want these things, yet three people can block even a debate & a vote. Which side are you on, Manchin & Sinema?
Americans of moral conscience, we need a season of nonviolent civil disobedience. Plans to be announced at #MoralMonday, July 5. It’s time. Wherever you are, if you have a group committed to nonviolence, you can join.
They wouldn’t let us have sound & microphones close to Manchin's office or in the parking lot. Hmmm ...
But we know you can’t silence the people.
People are supporting from everywhere, so we are gathering for a #MoralMonday March on Manchin on Monday 6/14 at 5pm ET.

After we march on Manchin in WV on #MoralMonday 6/14, West Virginians & Kentuckians of all races & creeds will come by bus on 6/23 to lead a justice action to the Russell Bldg, in Washington, DC, where we will have a march, rally & direct action to challenge McConnell & Manchin
for using the filibuster now as Russell did before—to block legislation that would make a government of the people & for the people. We will be asking others to join in this day of action in DC. The filibuster has always been used to prevent the expansion of democracy,
blocking voting rights, living wages, infrastructure, etc. These are not just "Black issues." They are justice issues, poor people’s issues, labor issues, women’s issues, environmental issues, LGBTQ issues, DEMOCRACY ISSUES.

At 2:30pm ET today in 25 state capitols, we are reviving #MoralMonday with caravans of mourning for those who have died needlessly in this pandemic.
Today’s processions are led by poor & low wealth people & their allies & religious leaders who are calling the nation to fight for just COVID relief, a smooth transition, and a moral and merciful first 100-day agenda in the new administration.
And tonight at 6pm ET, I’m joining a Jewish rabbi and Hindu clergy to deliver a national eulogy for all those we’ve lost.
Listen to the sounds of #MoralMonday!

If we look at all of the judges that have come through McConnell, 95% of the time they vote for corporations over ppl, for health insurance companies & against healthcare for the ppl, for polluters & against labor unions. We can't allow him to force a Supreme Court nomination!
McConnell won't vote on a stimulus bill to help suffering people. He won't vote on the VRA. But he will plan to vote to fill a Supreme Court seat, because he and Trump and those with them are infected with greed, racism, and lust for power.

In California, 75-90% of renters income goes to pay rent.
They’re being told to pay 25% of what they owe by tomorrow. That’s thousands of dollars for many. That’s why they’re calling for rent forgiveness.

Sen. McConnell’s actions have created misery and mayhem, and they are just plain mean. He has over and over again given money to corporations and banks while undermining real help for poor Americans and low-wage workers. He blocks living wages, health care, and voting rights.
Now he even wants to reduce unemployment assistance in the midst of a pandemic. While he rushed to pass 3 relief bills that gave 83% of a record investment to corporations & banks, he is holding up an extended moratorium on evictions for millions who could become homeless
to try to get legal immunity for companies that forced people back to work in dangerous conditions. His actions are causing social misery, and when people die, those actions become a form of political violence and murder.

We have Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Red Letter Christians, Unitarian, and people not of faith but who believe in a moral universe coming together at the border today, not for our own agendas but for the immigrant children and families who are facing injustice. #MoralMonday
We’ve come to arrest the attention of the nation. When they change their tactics, we will change our tactics. We will take the border to the nation’s capitol. #MoralMonday
