The Moral Monday Movement In Georgia Yesterday

 


The Moral Mondays movement has been active for many years and has been led by Bishop William J. Barber II and is associated with the Poor Peoples Campaign. This shows that people of faith speak with many voices and from many traditions and that we form a mighty bloc when we do that. This is the faith experience that masses of people are looking for without knowing it, something that speaks directly to us.

Faith Leaders Congressional Briefing | Poor People's Campaign

This was recorded on September 22nd, 2022, when a diverse group of Faith Leaders from across the country gathered in Washington, DC for an urgent congressional briefing to make a moral demand that Congress act on living wages, voting rights, and the reinstatement and expansion of polices that research shows can immediately lift millions of families out of poverty. If we ever needed to vote for democracy and justice, we sure do need to vote now!

"We Won't Back Down!" | Bishop William J. Barber, II


We disagree with Bishop Barber's brief and passing comment regarding Israel here, but we do believe that Bishop Barber is Spirit-filled and a great moral leader of our time. We thank God for his presence among us at this time in our history.

A Movement Declaration To Reconstruct American Democracy

From the Poor People's Campaign:

The Third Reconstruction is a revival of our constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the 140 million poor and low-income people in the country are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation.
