Candidates, if you are going to talk about race: 1)talk about systemic policy racism, not cultural words & symbols.
2) talk about how your campaign will address systemic voter suppression, racialized gerrymandering,
concentrated poverty, unjust immigration laws, resegregation & high poverty public schools, mass incarceration & police abuse,
continued mistreatment of Native Americans.
3) show how the inequities that impact black people and other people of color also hurt white people deeply and graphically.

Nearly one year ago, my #PoorPeoplesCampaign co-chair @liztheoharis and I were arrested with many others at the Capitol attempting to shine a light on the struggle and fight of the nation’s 140M Poor and low-income.
Today we return to Capitol Hill, two theologians donning religious vestments and stoles reminding those who invoke the Bible that Jesus was a poor man.
We return alongside members of our movement who represent poor and low income communities across the country to testify in front of the House Budget Committee not to lobby Congress, but to reveal the faces behind the facts of poverty.

The #PPCMoralCongress Presidential Forum showed the power of moral fusion organizing. It showed the world this is not a movement FOR the poor, it's a movement WITH the poor.
Yesterday's forum wasn't about the candidates. It was about the #PoorPeoplesCampaign family that came together and declared we're not waiting on the system to be loud about the crisis, WE'RE going to be loud about the crisis.
We're adding faces to the facts, forcing the media + politicians to pay attention, and refusing to be siloed. We're fighting together against systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy, and religious white nationalism. And we're not done yet.

Massachusetts, how is it that we're okay with our Secretary of Education thinking we don't have to require the teaching of race relations since the Civil Rights era in U.S. history?
This has been weighing on me since Tuesday.
I think Jack encapsulates it well here:
