From Wisconsin to Massachusetts to North Carolina and Rhode Island, state coordinating committee members met with poor and low-income voters. turnto10.com/news/local/poo…

LIVE NOW: @RevDrBarber giving a moral call to vote in Columbus, GA in the midst of GA’s senatorial run-off.

@RevDrBarber

America is the only country out of the top 25 wealthiest countries that does not offer some form of universal healthcare. You must ask these two senatorial candidates “Where were you on policy?” @RevDrBarber #GArunoff

@uscensusbureau

The recent @uscensusbureau report on poverty shows a dramatic decline in 2021. This decline is in part due to the organizing of the #poorpeoplescampaign (&others) for policies that center the poor. Problems that remain are in part because those policies have so far been temporary

Make sure to look at the #supplementalpovertymeasure numbers. The #SPM is a much better measure than the #OPM because it accounts for govt programs, common expenses and differences in costs of living. This is the measure we focus on.

Although better, the SPM threshold is still too low: for a 2-adult, 2-child household, the SPM threshold was about $31k. $31k is just 1/3 of what this family would need to live in Chicago. It's 1/2 of what they would need to live in Holmes County, MS.

HAPPENING NOW: Poor and low-income people from all over the western US are coming together in LA to speak out as we head towards the Mass Assembly in D.C. on June 18.

#PoorPeoplesCampaign

While we're marching, here are some important facts: if California were its own country, it would represent the fifth-largest economy in the world, and yet more than half of California’s residents are poor and low-income.

#PoorPeoplesCampaign

In L.A. County alone, a single individual would need to make three times the poverty threshold to meet basic expenses like housing, child care, health care, and transportation.
