We’ve come to Charleston with a clear message for Sen. Manchin & Sen. Capito: Our best economists have taught us that investments in people are needed in a democracy.
We have a full-page ad in four West Virginia newspapers today, but our ad is not the only one calling on Sen. Manchin to do the right thing for his people! #BuildBackBetter Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II speaking at the Mass Moral Rev
.@Sen_JoeManchin, we really want you to go down in history as a senator that stood for what’s right for West Virginia and the nation. It’s not too late!
One day you’re going to stand before God, and God’s not going to ask you, “Were you a good Catholic? Or were Baptist? Or Pentecostal?” God’s going to ask you, “When I was hungry, did you feed me? When I was naked did you clothe me?” #BuildBackBetter Mass Moral Revival and Rally in Charleston, West Virginia.
Mountaineers are supposed to always be free! Why cut two years of free community college? Why cut Medicaid expansion for senior citizens? Why be a slave to the greedy rather than serve the people? #BuildBackBetter
Why would you put your soul at risk and put corporate favors over your own conscience? Why would you support the filibuster and put democracy at risk? #BuildBackBetter #ProtectOurVote Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II
.@Sen_JoeManchin, Poverty kills. What does it gain you to collect a corporate contribution and lose your soul? Why would you allow yourself to be a slave to corporate greed, rather than be free in God and free to do right for your people?
Rabbi Joe Blair just spoke to Sen. Joe Manchin by audio. #PoorPeoplesCampaign #ProtectOurVote #BuildBackBetter West Virginia Poor People's Campaign "Mass Moral Reviva

“What would Sen. Robert Byrd do? He would’ve gotten the money, and it would be here in West Virginia. You can say what you want to say, but he brought the money.” —Rev. Roberta Smith, Black Ministerial Alliance #BuildBackBetter Rev. Roberta Smith, Black Ministerial Alliance
Rev. Roberta Smith is right: Sen. Robert Byrd hated the type of filibuster that Sen. Manchin is currently defending. #EndTheFilibuster #BuildBackBetter #ProtectOurVote

“Is it reckless to want these things? No, it’s not!” —Mavery Davis #BuildBackBetter Mavery Davis
India Frith, with the Black Voter Impact Initiative, calls Manchin’s democracy-denying efforts “very disturbing and absurd.” #ProtectOurVote India Frith, Black Voter Impact Initiative
Father Lark Munsee, with Holy Trinity Anglican Church, asks, “How long will we allow ‘not enough’ to bring our neighbors lives to an end? ... The Cookie Monster has us fighting over the crumbs, when he’s feasting on the box himself.” #BuildBackBetter Father Lark Munsee, Holy Trinity Anglican Church
“Sen. Manchin, Sen. Capito, we need you to invest in the people, to invest in dentalcare, to invest in hearing and eyecare!” —Rev. Matthew J. Watts, Grace Bible Church in Charleston, WV #BuildBackBetter Rev. Matthew J. Watts, Grace Bible Church in Charleston, WV
“When I hear Sen. Manchin say that West Virginians don’t want him to vote for the Build Back Better plan, I know he’s lying! ... The only one with a sense of entitlement is you, Sen. Manchin!” —Kaylen Barker @WestVirginiaPPC #BuildBackBetter Kaylen Barker with the West Virginia Poor People's Campaign
“We need a new electric system in West Virginia! We ought to stop doing work that poisons our people.” —Stewart Acuff

“We’re having to fight two of our own—Sen. Manchin and Sen. Capito. ... $3.5 trillion is an opportunity that we’re seeing dwindle away. ... $3.5 trillion is not enough!” —Pastor David Fryson, New First Baptist Church of Kanawha City, Charleston, WV #BuildBackBetter Pastor David Fryson, New First Baptist Church of Kanawha Cit

Joe Biden only won the 2020 election by 40,000 votes in three states. This is why Republicans are trying so hard to suppress the vote all across the country. It’s dangerous this game Manchin is playing by blocking voting rights protections.
SAVE THE DATE: June 18, 2022. Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington, DC.
.@ministter telling the history of the term “filibuster”: “It meant insurrectionists. ... If they weren’t insurrectionists on January 6th, those who uphold the filibuster are insurrectionists today by blocking voting rights, the Build Back Better plan, etc.” #EndTheFilibuster Rev. Mark Thompson
“Mountaineers can never be free as long as you, Sen. Joe Manchin, are for sale!” @ministter

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.
