WATCH: Bishop Barber & the #PoorPeoplesCampaign join Selma-to-Montgomery March | Fight for the Vote Rally twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
“I’d rather my voice be hoarse from marching in the rain two days ago than have a clear voice from saying nothing.” @RevJJackson Amen #FightForTheVote #PoorPeoplesCampaign 
Powerful words from Alabama’s first Black woman poet laureate, Ashley M. Jones @ashberry813. #FightForTheVote #PoorPeoplesCampaign
I have a dream that one day we will remember that when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to Washington D.C. on August 23, 1963 to deliver an address at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,
his purpose was not to lull us to sleep with flowery visions of a seductive, yet elusive American Dream;
his purpose was not to soothe the racial tensions & social anxieties of his day with a sweet sounding hope for a better tomorrow;
his purpose was not to soothe the racial tensions & social anxieties of his day with a sweet sounding hope for a better tomorrow;
his purpose was not to peacefully advocate for civil rights and patiently wait for a seat at the table - indeed, the so-called tables of opportunity had not been built to accommodate everyone;
"It's 101 years after the passage of the 19th Amendment [which gave women the right to vote]. Today we celebrate this on the day called Women's Equality Day. ... And yet, in 2021, our democracy is in peril!" @LizTheo #PoorPeoplesCampaign #VotingRights #EconomicJustice
So moved by the dedication and determination of servant leaders such as Jean Evansmore @WestVirginiaPPC, who told us today, "I expect to do this the rest of my life!" We are grateful to God for you, Jean. #PoorPeoplesCampaign #ForwardTogether
"We're here today to honor our miners who stood up against their oppressors and said, 'No more!' We deserve a living wage. We deserve health care. We deserve a seat at the table!" -Pam Garrison @WestVirginiaPPC #Blair100 #WhichSideAreYouOn

It’s fantastic news that Michigan’s unemployment rate is lower than the national rate.

We have to ask realistically ask ourselves “how many of those who are ‘in the labor force’ are in FT (with solid benefits) vs PT work (w/little to no benefits)?”
We have to realistically ask “How many in the labor force are among the underemployed or working multiple jobs to survive?”

Together, the Democratic White House, Democratic House of Representatives and Democratic Senate will work to not only recover from the devastating pandemic and economic crisis – which have infected nearly 25 million Americans and killed 400,000 – but will #BuildBackBetter 2/

This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This section is called: Leveling the Economic Playing Field & Reforming the Tax Code to Benefit Working Families Only one party has a specific plan for rebuilding the great American #MiddleClass and helping all #WorkingFamilies. 1/11
The U.S. economy is rigged against the American people. Time after time, President Trump and the Republicans have rewarded big corporations and their wealthy donors, and left working families behind. 2/11 #DemPartyPlatform #WorkingFamilies #EconomicJustice
#Democrats will take decisive action to level the playing field for people of color, working families, women, small business owners, and others who have been left on the sidelines.3/11 #DemPartyPlatform #EconomicJustice
This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020.This part deals with building a #StrongerFairerEconomy

The economy is not working for the American people. In a matter of weeks, the abject failure of the Trump Admin to competently respond to the #COVID19 pandemic erased all the job gains made since the Obama/Biden Admin pulled the country out of the Great Recession 2/15

President Trump inherited the longest economic expansion in American history from the Obama-Biden Administration, and he squandered it. 3/15

It’s that time again! Time to acquaint ourselves with the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. A platform is guiding principles of a party..goals, vision, mission, promise. Only one party has a platform for the next four years..Here is the #DemFuture vision for the next four years..1/12
The last 3.5 years has revealed , at tragic economic and human cost, the emptiness of the Republican Party’s “America First” foreign policy. Under President Trump, America stands alone. 2/12 #DemPartyPlatform
Friends and foes alike neither admire nor fear President Trump’s leadership—they dismiss and ridicule it. The Republican Party under President Trump has made America small—when we are a people called to do the greatest things.3/12 #DemPartyPlatform #DemocraticLeadership
The #PublishingPaidMe convos are beautiful. Lately, I keep re-upping @annbauerwriter's 2015 @Salon essay, "Sponsored by my husband". THREAD salon.com/2015/01/25/spo…
I started getting paid to write newspaper & magazine articles in 2005. It's been 15 years. Throughout it all, working other full-time jobs is what paid the bills and allowed me to keep writing.
.@annbauerwriter's essay is beautiful and striking in its openness about class & privilege in creative industries. #PublishingPaidMe
This is a really nice feel-good article about fairness.

It's also a nice example of #ReproductiveJustice meets #EconomicJustice. ❤
"Before the $70K minimum wage, we were having between 0 and 2 babies born per year amongst the team ... And since the announcement - and it's been only about 4 1/2 years - we've had more than 40 babies."

In other words, many people who worked there wanted to bring children into their families but they simply couldn't afford to.

Politics in technology, such as standards and protocols, is often hidden. This is in part due to its complexity, but can also be an agenda to legitimize and protect a specific (capitalist) ordering of the network, industry, and society.
Contentious issues are moved from more obvious political spaces into Standards Development Organization in specific, and Internet governance in general, in order to obfuscate them.

Updated #Democrats 2020 Pres. Primary Candidates & Delegates Map begun mid-Mar. Now 23 candidates. So many candidates from higher pledged del. states is attempt to dilute 1st round majority vote (50%+1), forcing 2nd rnd, bringing Automatic del (not so supers) back into play.

August 2018, @DNC voted (as a concession to #Progressives ) to remove not-so-super automatic delegates, but only for 1st rnd voting. A real reform would have removed them entirely - hence the flood of Dem. candidates - an end run around to concession.

#PuertoRico's imprisoned folks have been auctioned off to CoreCivic to be sent to AZ.
This despite opposition fr attys/orgs; concerns re healthcare at the AZ prison to which they'll be sent & CoreCivic's exploitative, dishonest & violent practices, as well as previous uprisings by PR's incarcerated folks who've been sent to mainland "US." periodismoinvestigativo.com/2018/08/depart…
A reminder that the vast majority of people imprisoned in #PuertoRico, just like everywhere else are Disabled, low/no income, indigenous/negatively radicalized.
