The National Co-chairs of The Poor People’s Campaign (@UniteThePoor) & Rev. Dr. Alvin O’Neal Jackson address the crowd in Atlanta, GA #MoralCallToVote
"As of right now, we are still homeless. I am here to talk to those mothers that are homeless right now that are in the hotels waiting for someone to knock on the door to give us food for our kids for that day. I'm asking for our children's sake, that we #vote." - Zan Armstrong
This election [in Georgia] is about whether we will believe the lies of scarcity or the truth of abundance! #MoralCallToVote
Democrats stayed off a Republican landslide. They may loose the House, but they’ve won significant governor races & can hold the Senate. Imagine what they could do if they fully committed to reach poor & low wealth voters.
Extremism won’t have a chance if the freedom & democracy we fight for & present to the 80 million plus poor & low-wage voters is freedom & democracy that stands against voter suppression & political violence; against policies that entrench poverty & blocks living wages…
against denying healthcare; against politicians who try to control a woman’s body and who we love; against corporate greed and environmental devastation.
WATCH: Bishop William J. Barber II preaching, "It's Time For The Values of The Valley To Vote", Ezekiel 37:1-14 twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
God said to Ezekiel go down where the bones are, go around the people who have been abused and kicked around by the regressive mean policies, actions, decisions & unholy alliances with the false priests, prophets and politicians.
How did we allow this election to be driven only by where we stand on abortion and January 6th?
The only way we are ever going to see political change is when the narrative of our politics speaks to the those in the valley.

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…
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.
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.
