We in the movement must stop letting the tail wag the dog. Already some are saying the only way to deal with Sinema and Manchin is the next election. No, we can put pressure on them for the For The People Act that John Lewis wrote to be brought back up. It’s still an active bill.
But this time we should apply maximum moral pressure. The pressure should demand a larger Build Back Better plan, as well. The President, prior to Presidents Day, should meet with diverse religious leaders and impacted poor & low-wage people and then
let impacted people, surrounded by moral and religious leaders, take the mic and talk to the nation. The President should then go on a national tour, starting in West Virginia and Arizona, to promote this agenda to help all Americans.
To address poverty and low wealth, those of us in the movement are right now planning a Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington & To the Polls, June 18: poorpeoplescampaign.org/rally-map/
and we will utilize direct action, voter mobilization, and every nonviolent effort available to us!
We shouldn’t quit or just wait until the next election. We can’t, and we won’t.
