WATCH NOW: Moral Monday Rally in Georgia | A Moral Call to Vote twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
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
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
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.
Although better, the SPM threshold is still too low: for a 2-adult, 2-child household, the SPM threshold was about $31k. $31k is just 1/3 of what this family would need to live in Chicago. It's 1/2 of what they would need to live in Holmes County, MS.

This is the outcome of the CRT mania. A CRT mania that began with people (including many Christians) misrepresenting what CRT is to the public and seeking to discredit it because it sought to distract people away from actually addressing racism.

My younger school years, we didn’t really talk about histories that didn’t make America sound like a perfect country. Our bipartisan governmental system was propped up as a perfect system where I was led to believe that every person had a voice that was heard.
I pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and felt weird about it, but didn’t have a conceptual framework for knowing why.
Little did I know that “one nation under God” was added later - & signaled a type of Christian nationalism.

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.

In L.A. County alone, a single individual would need to make three times the poverty threshold to meet basic expenses like housing, child care, health care, and transportation.

SPECIAL REPORT: The Poor People’s Campaign releases “The Poor People’s Pandemic Report,” a generationally significant report that uncovers things that will shock the nation’s conscience and the political establishment. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
54 years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered as he begged this nation to address poverty, racism, and militarism. It is shameful that today we have 140 million poor and low-wealth people in this nation.
Even in a global pandemic, there hasn’t been a systematic assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on poor and low-income communities. COVID-19 data collection does not include data on poverty, income, or occupation, alongside race and pandemic outcomes.
WATCH: Bishop Barber & the #PoorPeoplesCampaign join Selma-to-Montgomery March | Fight for the Vote Rally twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
“I’d rather my voice be hoarse from marching in the rain two days ago than have a clear voice from saying nothing.” @RevJJackson Amen #FightForTheVote #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Powerful words from Alabama’s first Black woman poet laureate, Ashley M. Jones @ashberry813. #FightForTheVote #PoorPeoplesCampaign
On Sunday in #Selma, I spoke on behalf of Elliott Smith, the great-nephew of Amelia Boynton, to remind the nation that Selma was not a day but a declaration: Our deadline is victory! #Selma57 #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Selma was not just about voting rights either. Rev. Dr. King linked the fight for voting rights and the fight for economic justice. We can’t talk about one without talking about the other.
When 140 million Americans were either poor or one emergency away from poverty before COVID, when we have less voting rights today than in 1965, & we’ve seen nearly 1 million deaths from COVID, many needlessly, we shouldn’t need anything else to tell us we need a movement!

Organizing for the right to have a union and fight for economic justice goes hand-in-hand with the fight for the right to vote. The two should never be separated.

Yesterday the NC Supreme Court honored the powerful protections in the NC Constitution—a Reconstruction Constitution forged by a historic, fusion, multi-racial government—that makes the right to vote a fundamental one in the state of North Carolina.
It is protected here by the Equal Protection Clause, the Free Elections Clause, the Free Speech Clause, and the Freedom of Assembly Clause of the NC Constitution. The court found that the maps passed by the NCGA violated all of those provisions
and are “unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt” under NC law. The NC Supreme Court made history in finding partisan gerrymandering was recognized under the NC Constitution as unconstitutional,
The fight against racist police violence is not and never has been a denunciation of all police. Standing against violence and murder of police does not mean a person doesn’t support the efforts to reform racist police violence. Both things can be true at the same time.
I pastor a church with former police officers in it, and we support the efforts of police to secure the community. These same police officers denounce those who wear the uniform when they commit racist violence and murder against Black, brown, native, and poor white people.
If a police officer refuses to do their job, because one of their colleagues is prosecuted for murdering innocent people, or a police officer says their morale suffered, because they’re trained in reform that is long overdue to weed out bad actors or system flaws within policing,

Congress ratified the 15th Amendment on Feb. 3, 1870, but states used poll taxes, literacy tests, and other ways to block its implementation and abridge the right to vote. Now senators are refusing to take action and stop new voter suppression laws.

We’re committing to go full, all-out in building the #PoorPeoplesCampaign: A National Call for Moral Revival in this moment of our national sickness. When we see political and physical insurrection; when we see assaults on the poor and low-wealth;
when we see wide-spread assaults on voting rights and democracy; when we see misinformation campaigns and billions spent to divide us; in this moment, we are committed to mobilizing the largest mass assembly of poor people & low-wage workers in this nation’s history on June 18.
