"COVID has unveiled the depth of the problems and we can't hide them anymore.. I am underpaid as an educator.. and if we want to see the change we have to do the voting!" - Wanda R. Johnson, Elizabeth City Public School Teacher

The North Carolina Constitution, Article 11 Section 4 states "Beneficent provision to the poor, the unfortunate and the orphan is one of the first duties of a civilized state.." if you are not concerned with the poor & children according to the constitution you are uncivilized
The denial of healthcare is a policy decision. America is the only country of the 25 most developed countries in the world who do not offer some form of universal healthcare. In America your healthcare is tied to your job and not your humanity and that is immoral!
If just 19% of the 1.2 million poor and low-wealth voters.. or 2,400 voters per county in North Carolina vote they could determine who sits in office. #OurVotesAreDemands

Without voting rights, immigrant justice, healthcare, living wages, indigenous peoples rights you can’t have a just democracy.
Across the nation if 20-25% of poor, low-wealth voters & their allies vote, they can choose who sits in the house and senate. We must make our power felt! #OurVotesAreDemands

Poor & low-wealth voters make up 33% of the electorate and make up 45% of the electorate in battleground states #OurVotesAreDemands
When we say “If we ever needed to vote for democracy & justice we sure do need to vote now.” We are saying voting rights and living wages are on the ballot. We can’t afford to sit home and let others decide what the impact on your daily life will be! #OurVotesAreDemands
Moral Monday is a strategy to tell the truth, no matter how ugly it is, Moral Monday is to expose the damage! #OurVotesAreDemands
Moral Monday's are not a one time gathering.. it is a deeply rooted multifaceted.. multiracial strategy to challenge in the face of the public, oppressive systems that hurt black people, brown people, indigenous people, white people, in other words all of God's creation
We are in a moral crisis! 50 million people across the nation will experience some form of voter suppression. If we ever needed to vote for justice and democracy, we sure do need to vote now! #OurVotesAreDemands
50 million people will experience extreme poverty because the minimum wage has not changed in over a decade! #OurVotesAreDemands

It’s time to join in the fight and celebrate those who have already been fighting here to save UC Townhomes. We have to fight because this is wrong, immoral, it’s sin.
We can’t stand down.
We can’t be silent.
Because if they take UC townhomes, it will be the beginning of a dangerous dominoe effect in this city.

Poor and low-income voters have more power than they have ever had in history, they represent over 45% of the electorate in Pennsylvania.
If poor and low income people, faith leaders & advocates don’t vote it will hurt the soul of the country. We must show up this election season like never before. If we ever needed to vote for justice & democracy we sure do need to vote now.
