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

“I started with the movement while incarcerated.. with the Mississippi Poor People’s Campaign. I know what injustice feels like.. if there ever was a time, the time is now to get the mission accomplished” - Courtney Rainey, Mississippi Poor People’s Campaign
Save the date! October 15th, poor and low-wealth people and thier allies will be marching all across the nation! #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'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

WATCH: Save the UC Townhomes Interfaith Gathering with Bishop William J. Barber, II twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
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.

WATCH: Bishop William J. Barber II, preaching from Love Zion Baptist Church in Philadelphia, PA twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
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.
