In Buffalo, where I was just weeks ago to support Starbucks workers, families are grieving senseless loss. An act of terror, meant to terrorize a whole community, is re-traumatizing Black people. We know who killed, but we must ask, “who radicalized this white supremacist”?
Who created the atmosphere and spewed The Great Replacement theory he wrote? Because this is not an anomaly or the insanity of one person.
It isn’t novel. Politicians repeat it. Fox News repeats it. Preachers implicitly defend it when they warn against “wokeism.”

So it’s clear for everyone to see, this is the agenda of the extremists who call themselves Republicans & even the so-called moderate Dems who stand w/ them:

take away a woman’s human right to choose, which disproportionally hurts poor & low wealth women…
Take away poor women’s human right to receive healthcare.

take away any possibility of universal healthcare.

take away living wages.

take away voting rights.

take away union rights…
take away any possibility of addressing climate change or paying off unnecessary student debt.

take away all the revenue they can from the government by giving tax cuts to the greedy….

Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation happened in spite of the lies about her judicial record, the false questioning of her personal life, etc.
Men far less qualified, educated, or virtuous dared to question her & bring their small selves into a space barely big enough for all the ancestors who were with her, the brilliance born of years of dedicated study, & the fullness of the faith that accompanied her very being.
They tried to crucify her confirmation, but in their trying they exposed their own sinful selves. Now from the bench she will rule on the great principles of the Constitution.

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)
🎶 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
