"Hate evil and love good and then work it out in the public square." - @RevDrBarber
"God says I need some folk who will go out into the streets and lament..." - @RevDrBarber reading from Amos 5
"I want justice––oceans of it..." - @RevDrBarber concluding the reading from Amos 5
We're up against the interlocking injustices of poverty, systemic racism, the false moral narrative of religious nationalism, ecological devastation, and the war economy. At this point, the question isn't about nonviolence, but about nonviolence or nonexistence.
"God has a way of even putting nations in their place." - @RevDrBarber
American Christianity and along with its preachers and pastors have been too silent about the poor! It's time to speak up. #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Disregard for human life is not something new to this country. @RevDrBarber reminds us of the reality and horror of the Atlantic slave trade.
"For the first time in 200 hundred years...@POTUS signed a law making lynching a hate crime...did that make you shiver just a little bit?" - @RevDrBarber
"You could determine who would die from COVID in $100 increments...COVID didn't discriminate, but we did." #PoorPeoplesCampaign
