In the days since @UniteThePoor held the Mass Poor People's & Low-Wage Workers' Assembly & Moral March on Washington & to the Polls, the enormity of what happened June 18th is starting to sink in. Photo by @stevepavey (1/many)

There are 140 million poor and low-income people in this country. If we unite together, we have the power to overturn the interlocking injustices that keep us all struggling.

The rich and powerful of this country are already well organized. It's time we get organized too.

Martin Luther King Jr. said that there's a moral arc to the universe that bends toward justice. He was right, but we're the ones that have to bend it that way.

People are saying that more than prayers are needed now because they know there is a hypocrisy in prayer without action. Prayer that covers up inaction is a gross misuse of spirituality.

Health equity means centering the poor, before, during and whenever this pandemic ends. This isn’t just because it’s the right thing to do, it’s the only way we will ever realize a right to health for us all.

This is so stark. Within the US, people in poor counties died of Covid at 2X the rate as people in richer counties. At some points in the pandemic, this jumped to 5X, according to a new report from the Poor People's Campaign. inthesetimes.com/article/cov… by @shaillybarnes and @dr_pugh

In Buffalo, where I was just weeks ago to support Starbucks workers, families are grieving senseless loss. An act of terror, meant to terrorize a whole community, is re-traumatizing Black people. We know who killed, but we must ask, “who radicalized this white supremacist”?

There's always more money for weapons, but never for the people.

The systems that limit and destroy the lives of poor and low-wage workers are the same systems that cause environmental devastation.
We can't keep going on as if everything is normal. It's time to organize for change.
