LIVE NOW: @RevDrBarber giving a moral call to vote in Columbus, GA in the midst of GA’s senatorial run-off. Image America is the only country out of the top 25 wealthiest countries that does not offer some form of universal healthcare. You must ask these two senatorial candidates “Where were you on policy?” @RevDrBarber #GArunoff

The recent @uscensusbureau report on poverty shows a dramatic decline in 2021. This decline is in part due to the organizing of the #poorpeoplescampaign (&others) for policies that center the poor. Problems that remain are in part because those policies have so far been temporary Image of the Poor People's and Low Wage Workers Mass Assembl Make sure to look at the #supplementalpovertymeasure numbers. The #SPM is a much better measure than the #OPM because it accounts for govt programs, common expenses and differences in costs of living. This is the measure we focus on.

HAPPENING NOW: Poor and low-income people from all over the western US are coming together in LA to speak out as we head towards the Mass Assembly in D.C. on June 18.

#PoorPeoplesCampaign While we're marching, here are some important facts: if California were its own country, it would represent the fifth-largest economy in the world, and yet more than half of California’s residents are poor and low-income.

“This is a damnable decision. Police used a battering ram and broke the door off its hinges as they entered Breonna Taylor’s apartment, shooting her at least five times. Anything less than indictments for the full extent of the officers’ actions cannot stand.” @RevDrBarber “Yes, they endangered the neighbors. But Breonna Taylor got a casket, and not a single officer is charged in her death or will be tried in state criminal court for it. She cannot be erased from this story.” @RevDrBarber

"Breonna Taylor was shot at least five times in her home and now just one officer faces charges of first-degree wanton endangerment of other people, not Ms. Taylor.” @liztheo “This is what systemic racism looks like in Kentucky - that a Black woman’s life can be taken without consequence, but also that the people in charge do not believe that the rule of law must be equally applied to all.” @liztheo
