From the former plantations of Louisiana to the hills of Kentucky, the #PoorPeoplesCampaign has been building out a moral movement this past week. weku.fm/post/poor-peop…
Tonight was miraculous. People from coal country joined inner city folks from Louisville & Georgetown to organize for a movement that is registering voters & headed to DC June 20, 2020.
Let's put tens of thousands of people in the street behind the moral poverty justice budget & agenda. Let's send them all home next fall to mobilize & register voters. Let's put a true face on poverty & the interlocking injustices that help entrench poverty!

At Greenleaf Christian Church, we’re happy to welcome @PeteButtigieg & anyone else who wants to worship the God of love & justice.
Here’s the full statement from Greenleaf.
Any candidate can worship w/ us anytime, from either side of the isle. Our message doesn’t change. We don’t endorse candidates; we push an agenda to deal w/ 140 mil ppl of every race, creed, color, sexual orientation & geography who are poor & low wealth.

In the cold winter weather or Oregon, I just stood and talked with PPC organizers who are part of the homeless union fighting for dignity.
They go home tonight and live in the woods, because America that is rich in empty houses and empty buildings refuses to open them to members of the human family.
But these brothers and sisters said they have joined the rising, and they won’t be silent anymore.

1/ You should probably read our new investigation before doing your #CyberMonday shopping:

Amazon’s internal warehouse injury records expose the true toll of its relentless drive for speed. revealnews.org/article/behind…
2/ We amassed internal injury records from 23 of Amazon’s 110 U.S. fulfillment centers.

Taken together, the rate of serious injuries for those facilities was more than double the national average for the warehousing industry.
3/ The numbers: 9.6 serious injuries per 100 full-time workers in 2018. The industry average: 4. The rates at one warehouse in Eastvale, California were 4x the industry average. At another in Troutdale, Oregon, they were 6x.

Hi @egg509!

I feel as though we need to have a discussion about your 3 tweets below 👇🏾

I invite you to have an adult conversation with me. Allow me to address your tweets directly, mmk? /1

#Bernie2020 #FeelTheBern #NoMiddleGround
Let's tackle your tweet about how us Berners have no respect, morals, integrity etc.

We actually do! And a LOT of it!

Bernie's movement is a moral movement which has lots of similarities to MLK's #PoorPeoplesCampaign.

#Benie2020 /2
We believe in human rights that many Democrats themselves don't believe, like giving those incarcerated the right to vote as example. We also believe things like EDU are human rights along with housing.

Themes from the opening and keynote speaker at @UBSSW Poverty is a Human Rights Issue: 4th Annual Symposium:
- Poverty is nuanced
- It is based on the history of the United States and US Social Policy
- Many “good” policies to integrate individuals have been create but..
#PHRI
Have been created so marginalized communities can be integrated because profits have been able to be made off of their exploitation (ie. Predatory Lending allows credit, for profit education allows debt and worthless degrees) #PHRI #MacroSW #Policy
- There are many two tiered systems (4% loan rates vs 11% loan rates).
- Military budget
- If we have Medicare for all, how do we ensure a second system for the wealthy doesn’t get created so we don’t wind up back where we started? #MacroSW #PHRI

The story of America is not a struggle b/w liberal & conservative visions of common life; it’s the story of a plantation economy struggling against everyday people for power & control.
Every successful effort to expand democracy—from abolition to women’s suffrage to labor & civil rights—has been driven by a moral movement among everyday people.
The plantation economy resisted moral movements by investing in #slaveholderreligion. Preachers who defend anti-democratic policies are well-funded by the corporate elites & those who remain quietly apolitical are rewarded.
