There are unnecessarily 140 Million poor and low-wealth people in this country #MoralAssembly2022
We must have, over and over again a Moral Meeting in the streets.. like those who stood for labor rights, those who have stood for peace in times of war, and women’s right to thier bodies! #MoralAssembly2022
We have people from all over the country together, it sounds like a reconstruction… a resurrection! #MoralAssembly2022

Too all women: I’m so sorry that this extrem court would vote to give a rapist more power over you than you have over your own body.
In response to attacks on voting rights, living wages & now women’s bodies, the just community’s response must be the most massive progressive voter turnout in the history of the nation.
We must ensure that extremist Congresspersons & Senators remain in the voting minority. We must demand that the Congress act legislatively. And we must seriously consider expanding the court b/c of the way Republicans cheated to make the court as it is.
Maris Denning just said all three of his children died by suicide. They might have been saved with proper mental healthcare. This is why we’re here. #MoralAssembly2022
Pam Garrison from WV said last night we mourned the dead. Today, it’s time to fight like hell for the living. #MoralAssembly2022
Kenia Alcocer got on a bus on June 14th to be here today and demand housing for all, healthcare for all, and voting rights for all. #MoralAssembly2022
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….
