We’re LIVE from outside the Rockwool plant in Kearnersville, WV. #MoralMarch
This toxic polluting plant is just a stone’s throw from an elementary school, because in WV it’s illegal to put a school next to a plant but not the other way around! (Photo: @stevepavey) Image
🎶 Somebody’s been hurting our children and our planet and it’s gone on far too long, and we won’t be silent anymore 🎶

Join us online now for the launch of the Harper’s Ferry-to-Martinsburg #MoralMarch on West Virginia!

WATCH LIVE:
We opened this morning in Harpers Ferry with a prayer from two local West Virginia faith leaders: “Creator, how grateful we are to stand here on holy ground. ... Together we ask for a new birth of freedom, a just share of the wealth of this land for all.”

Katrina Fernandez stood with us—and six of her children—today to say: “I’m concerned that my children are being poisoned by a factory that’s allowed to just let chemicals go in the air. ... We can’t take any more stuff in our bodies.” #PoorPeoplesCampaign

SPECIAL REPORT: The Poor People’s Campaign releases “The Poor People’s Pandemic Report,” a generationally significant report that uncovers things that will shock the nation’s conscience and the political establishment. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
54 years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered as he begged this nation to address poverty, racism, and militarism. It is shameful that today we have 140 million poor and low-wealth people in this nation.
Even in a global pandemic, there hasn’t been a systematic assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on poor and low-income communities. COVID-19 data collection does not include data on poverty, income, or occupation, alongside race and pandemic outcomes.

Tillis doesn’t follow the Constitution himself. Judge Jackson is too smart, too true, too just, and too Black for him to vote for her.

Stop being a coward, @SenThomTillis, saying it’s because “she might legislate from the bench.”
She might protect voting rights. She might not let corporations have more power than people. That’s why you don’t want her on the Supreme Court.

North Carolina, don’t get mad, get focused, and vote him out in 2024, and vote in a just senator in 2022. Don’t sit out this midterm!

Lindsay Graham’s argument about why Democrats don’t accept so-called Black conservatives proves why we can’t make this appointment about race, as Thurgood Marshall and Pauli Murray noted. It has to be about judicial philosophy, not just skin color.
Graham is more dangerous to this republic than Trump, because he’s arrogant, full of lies, and great at twisting words in a hearing. He could not survive the same questions he puts to others. He’s more like a Fox News commentator than a person seeking truth.
And Sen. Graham is the best example of a white supremacist attitude that asks questions where he already has predetermined answers, formed by his warped ideology, which he gets to display at a Senate hearing in a way he could never do in a real court or in a fair hearing process.
