DC campaign of @unitethepoor movement to confront interlocking injustices including systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and more.
Today, @brepairers@revdrbarber held a #moralmonday Rally in Washington, DC & across the nation as a moral response to yesterday’s White House “Rededicate 250” gathering, which promoted a distorted theology & religious nationalism being used to justify war & policy violence
