The movement continues! On 6/20, the #PoorPeoplesCampaign goes digital w/ a mass online gathering to demand that 140 million poor & low-wealth people across the nation are heard. Our demands must be front & center in this critical election year! Join us: https://t.co/Vng8oPF2Sp!
Responses to this virus that seek to give more to the rich & corporations than to lift the poor make clear that we must keep our promise to refuse silence & build power among the poor. This nation cannot return to the "normalcy" where 700 ppl each day die from poverty.
This is the 150th year since the signing of the 15th amendment. It's also the 55th year since the signing of the Voting Rights Act. If extremists try to suppress our right to vote, they must fear our power & if they fear our power, let's all come together & actualize that fear!
#TrumpBudget is clear: he is not running to represent poor & low income Americans. He is dedicated to propping up an economy where the rich get richer & the poor get medical debt. https://t.co/WsiV0w8CNi
The question in 2020 is not whether Trump’s most ardent supporters will stand by him, but whether Democrats will embrace an agenda that can inspire poor and marginalized people to engage in a political system that has simply overlooked them for decades. https://t.co/7aepPqW4R9
Trump is laying out his entire regressive & racist agenda, even using props to try & cover it up. Democrats need to understand this as a fight not only for the nation, but also for the truth. Fight back & push forward.
I pray for Rush Limbaugh as he faces stage four lung cancer, but it’s also a lie to say he is America’s greatest fighter for our ideals and that a man who has spewed racism & division deserves the Medal of Freedom.
Please don’t just blame Trump for where we are now. Name all those who have lied for him, upheld him, covered for him, put false religion around him, & enabled him. If we end up in war, there must not be selective amnesia. Anyone who didn’t speak up bears the blame.
More than 1 out of every 2 federal discretionary dollars goes to military spending, yet only 15 cents goes to anti-poverty programs. This is why we need the #PoorPeoplesCampaign! Will you join us for the Moral March on Washington June 20, 2020? https://t.co/EZTlADrbbU
Since 2003, the Department of Homeland Security has deported more than 5 million people. This is why we need the #PoorPeoplesCampaign & the Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington! Will you join us June 20, 2020? https://t.co/EZTlADrbbU
Tons of money has been spent to deceive the public & a whole lot of church folk. But people are waking & rising to proclaim a better way. https://t.co/wqbSWaoYYz
"Christianity Today calls for impeachment, but they don’t critique the distorted moral narrative & immoral policy agenda that created Trump." @RevDrBarber#PoorPeoplesCampaign https://t.co/QrTJlFfRli
If you come on here to defend Trump’s form of religion, please don’t lie.
Trump has helped the greedy.
He has not followed Jesus in the policy he & his enablers have pursued.
Sen Graham’s logic suggests that if anyone tells on Trump, it’s hearsay. And when it comes to Trump, it’s only his-say. By this standard only Trump’s lies would be considered truth. This kind of thinking comes from the lies of white nationalism & the lies of racism.
When we examine our public policy in the nation at this moment, I want to suggest we are in a moral crisis, and it's bigger than any one president. It really requires a #MoralImpeachment and a reset of our moral values.
