Poor People's Campaign National Virtual GOTV Rally to Unlock the Power of the Poor and Low-Income Vote twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We cannot be discouraged when the media and politicians aren't lifting us up yet. Every step is another step. This is not the end but the beginning!

Our votes are not support of personalities, #OurVotesAreDemands

"Millions of students are suffering from student debt. We need quality and affordable education from Pre-K through college!" Anam J. El-Jabali #OurVotesAreDemands

"Our communities are always hit hardest by crisis. That is why we demand our communities are prioritized for COVID relief and action on climate change!" Malik Gary #OurVotesAreDemands

"Over the past 20 years, this nation has spent over 21 trillion dollars on war, prison, policing, surveillance, and border enforcement. We demand the government prioritize peace over war, and redirect those resources to what our communities need." Sis. Ramona Navarro

We've Got the Truth, We're Tired of The Tricks! | October 31st Mississippi Moral Monday twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Governor is trying to blame the city for the problems & that’s a trick!

The truth is the city of Jackson was ill equipped because resources have been taken for years as Mayor Chokwe Lumumba stated.

In order to fix this we have to work together. It’s going to take solidarity, it’s going to take pressure. It’s going to take federal intervention that will free the land, clean the water, and make sure it’s owned by the people of Jackson, MS!

WATCH: Voting, We Know What To Do and Why We Must Do It | Bishop William J. Barber, II twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@UniteThePoor

As of today, @UniteThePoor has officially reached 5.1 million poor & low-income, low propensity voters in an effort to mobilize them to the polls. #OurVotesAreDemands

We can never let oppressive forces or mean and authoritative leaders define who we are & what we do. Knowing who you are is critical to your sanity.. & your ability to sustain a fight. It is true for individuals, communities and nations.

@CheriBeasleyNC

I’m joining a diverse group of clergy to announce my endorsement of @CheriBeasleyNC’s US Senate campaign today. When I look at the policy commitments of Beasley vs Budd, the choice is clear to me.

Budd has voted against living wages, expansions of health care, union rights, & pro-family policies. He has worked to undermine policies that would lift most North Carolinians, & he lies and says he’s defending so-called ‘traditional values.’

Each person must make their own decision, but I want to be clear about mine. Too much is at stake to be silent while extremists use God’s name to say so much about what God said so little while saying so little about what God said so much.

WATCH: Urgent Call to Action Durham Early Voting March to the Polls twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

When people demand living wages and healthcare, they aren’t asking for a handout, they are demanding human rights based in fairness.

In North Carolina, you can work 80 hours a week at the current minimum wage and still not be able to afford a basic two bedroom apartment in the 21st century that is policy violence.
