I disagree that what happened with Democrats in the public debate over infrastructure and Build Back Better has been damaging to their image. 1/11
They could have not fussed, compromised in the backroom, and just cut people out. But progressives didn’t, the President didn’t. They fought for what they believed in and knew poor and low-wealth Americans—over 140 million people—need. 2/11
What they are debating is not $10 trillion, 1 trillion per year for 10 years like the @EconomicPolicy Institute recommended. It’s less than the $6 trillion @SenSanders proposed. It’s less than the $3.5 trillion the President came down to. It’s now just $1.7 trillion. 3/11

Poor and low-income people accounted for more than a third of all voters overall in the 2020 presidential election, and their turnout was especially strong in tight battleground states, according to a study @UniteThePoor released today.

The study, titled “Waking the Sleeping Giant: Low-Income Voters and the 2020 Elections” also shows that of the 168 million people who voted in 2020, 59 million — 35% — were poor or low-income, meaning they have an estimated annual income of less than $50,000.
The 2020 presidential elections saw the highest voter turnout in U.S. election history, including among low-income voters.

The only way out is to embrace a #ThirdReconstruction agenda & build a mass #MoralMovement that seeks love, justice, and truth. An agenda to fully address poverty and low-wealth.

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.
This isn’t about left or right, Democrat or Republican, this is about right vs. wrong!
Keep calling, we will keep switching until we fill up ALL of McConnell's voicemail boxes 👉 bit.ly/callmcconnell

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.

Thanks to my brother @MarkRuffalo for joining us on today & reminding us that it's Mitch McConnell who's standing in the way of protecting millions of Americans from untold suffering from a massive wave of evictions/foreclosures #MoralMonday

In the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, campaigns that court low-income nonvoters by focusing on issues like expanding Medicare and raising wages could build progressive governing power for generations.
In presidential elections, low-income-voter turnout over the past 36 years has consistently been 20 percentage points below that of higher-income voters, according to a new report from the #PoorPeoplesCampaign @UniteThePoor.
Read the report: poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/power…
Read the report: poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/power…
The report shows that eligible nonvoters across income brackets in 2016 reported the same top reasons for not voting: They didn’t feel they were represented by the candidates who were running or they did not think their vote would make a difference.
If in fact we are going to take on police violence that kills, then certainly we have to take on economic violence that also kills.

“Trump is unapologetic and unabashed in his contempt for American democracy and the rule of law. Many mental health professionals have concluded he is unwell. He lacks impulse control and evidences sociopathic behavior.”
“Trump acts like a self-styled mob boss — a corrupt bully who forces his subordinates to ‘kick up’ to him.
America’s own spies do not trust our unpredictable president to act responsibly with the country’s secrets.”
