WATCH: How Do Manchin's Cuts to the Build Back Better Plan Hurt West Virginians? #PoorPeoplesCampaign twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
We’re asking the media to stop calling Sen. Joe Manchin “moderate.” His positions are politically mean, not moderate. But he still has the opportunity to go down in history as a great senator, if he will only change!
Rev. Dr. @liztheo reminds us that asking how much the Build Back Better will cost is the wrong question. The right question is How much will it cost for us NOT to do this? Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis

“Moderate” Democrats say the more money cut from the BBB plan, the more people left out, the more people that don’t get Medicare or free community college or $15/hr living wage, WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS?
It makes me think about how the so-called “moderate” position in politics is often a polite euphemism for inaction. Remember what Dr. King wrote from the Birmingham jail: “I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate.
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice;

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.

breachrepairers.org/press-releases…
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.
