@CNN This needs to be a national tv ad. I commend Williamson on making this issue a pillar of her campaign, while others run away from it. As she often says "Americans are woefully undereducated about race in the US". This is a debt that is owed and it is way past the due date.
Author Marianne Williamson's first television campaign ad of the 2020 election cycle focuses on reparations and will run this week in South Carolina. It is the first presidential campaign ad on this subject. https://t.co/EgMsLFqYVQ
Once you see certain things you can’t unsee them. Seeing things that are difficult, yet being willing to face them, is prelude to transformation on both a personal and a global scale. We need to think differently, act differently, and vote differently now. https://t.co/AkB7Zap2OA
“For the last 15 years, I’ve seen too many people in trouble who shouldn’t be in trouble.” My recent interview with Cenk Uygur on The Young Turks https://t.co/sCRi0Kx2J1
A political status quo will not willingly repair itself; a status quo exists only to perpetuate itself. It’s not up to them now, it’s up to us. It’s time for the people to step in.
Americans aren’t subdued by guns or even by bad laws. We’re subdued by MindFog. By the purposely created illusion that things are more complicated than they actually are. By the obscene suggestion that there’s something more important than doing right by the people of the world.
Our govt does more to advocate for the ability of those who already have a lot to get even more, and harder for those who do not have any to even make it at all. We must shift from an economic to humanitarian bottom line, to improve both the state of our economy and our humanity
Repeal the 2017 $2T tax cut. Put back in the middle class cut. Stop corporate subsidies. Let govt negotiate w/ big Pharma to reduce drug prices. Limit military spending to what the military says they need, not what defense contractors say they just want. EW correct on wealth tax.
The American people have been mentally trained to expect too little, to ask “Pretty please” for things which their own taxes should be paying for. Let’s free ourselves of the illusion that it’s good economics to transfer huge amounts of wealth into the hands of just a few people
When healthcare & tuition at free state colleges & universities is free, & the college loan debt is completely cancelled, it will be a massive infusion of economic hope & opportunity plus the removal of chronic stress & anxiety from the lives of millions. That’s what govt is FOR
Withholding high quality education from children for no other reason than that they are poor is not just an education issue, it’s a moral issue. Putting more resources into war than into peace not just a political issue, it’s a moral issue. America needs a moral season of repair.
Econ injustice not just an economic issue, it’s a moral issue. Injustice in criminal sentencing not just a justice issue, it’s a moral issue. Desecrating earth not just an environmental issue, it’s a moral issue. Military adventurism not just a military issue, it’s a moral issue
Kudos to Gov @GavinNewsom for banning for-profit prisons and immigrant detention centers, and legalizing public banking in CA. Bad public policy can be repealed; good public policy can replace it.
