Our Mass Meeting for Moral Witness is live from LA… www.youtube.com/live/k52mJNb...

With local faith leaders, Repairers of the Breach will host a mass meeting in LA this Friday. Join us.

"But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right." ― The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Rev. William Barber II says nation should mourn Charlie Kirk family's loss, and that leaders should "call out" dishonest and divisive language pushed by those in power.

This moment demands we peacefully stand up and shine a light on injustice. Join Save America Movement this Saturday at 10AM in MacArthur Park, Los Angeles to rally in support of our neighbors. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/natio...

One of the tragedies of this week’s violence is that it makes it harder to have the honest conversation that’s needed about Jesus and American politics.

What we face will not be defeated in a day. But it will be defeated by a moral movement of people who remember who we are, take nonviolent direct action to defend the most vulnerable, and build power to reconstruct a democracy that works for all of us.

Hello, Chicago. Now, more than ever, it is vital that we all know our rights.

🚨 Armed troops in D.C. and Trump signals more cities are next. The Save American Movement (SAM) strives to defend our freedom, liberty & our democracy. Join the movement → SaveAmericaMovement.org

Grateful for this group of colleagues & friends.

When political leaders lock arms with wealthy corporations to resist unions, they can seem insurmountable. But with faith the size of a mustard seed, everyday people can move a mountain. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Awesome to see one of these Know Your Rights trucks in downtown DC! Thanks @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social ! #FreeDC #NoKings #NoIce #KnowYourRights

We need the nonviolent power of God to confront the abuse of power that is putting soldiers on our streets. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Live from the TX House floor tonight, good to talk with Reps @jamestalarico.bsky.social & Venton Jones. You can watch here: open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

In local communities across America, Moral Mondays are bringing people together to say, “We don’t want a government that takes from the poor to give tax breaks to the rich.”

Wendy has dedicated 3 decades of her life to being a caregiver. After Congress passed its Big Deadly & Destructive Bill, she got a notice that the state of North Carolina will begin cutting all Medicaid reimbursements by up to 10%, starting October 1.

This coming Monday is the 105th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. The story of how it happened in Nashville, TN is also the story of why Moral Mondays are happening across the South. More here: open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Was DC in need of rescuing on January 6th? Trump didn’t think so.

We stand at a moment of moral crisis in our great country. It is incumbent upon us, The People, to stand up and say this is wrong. youtu.be/AxZDE8PBhFk

When this is all over, some will say, “We didn’t know how bad it was.” Others will ask, “How did we allow it?” Still others will weep and say, “I can’t believe we thought that was right.” But each of us has the opportunity to speak up and say, “No. Not in my name.” Now is the time.

This is what direct action does. It exposes the moral bankruptcy of authoritarian regimes. It compels everyday citizens to choose a side in a moral struggle. More here: open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Behold, the ICE Brigade: youtu.be/nc6iBeGPrtE

Trump has taken-up the same tired tactics Hoover deployed to try to deflect the critical questions of his own base. But Trump doesn’t seem to realize that by going back in time to Hoover vs King, he has placed himself on the losing side of a moral struggle at the heart of the American story.

Boom. Thanks for all your support. We did it y’all. —- Kensington’s Peace Park opens at The Simple Way — with new sculpture made from disassembled firearms. www.phillytrib.com/lifestyles/k...

A moral movement in this moment must help people remember that the cruelty isn’t inevitable. There are more of us who oppose it than those who benefit from it. But extremists maintain power by pitting us against one another. More here: open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

In a dozen cities and towns across the South yesterday, local Moral Monday coalitions rallied in the spirit of Ida B. Wells to launch a campaign that refuses to accept the lies about policies that will kill people in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Moral Mondays are happening across the South today to lift these voices of people who will be hurt first & worst by the policy violence of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Here’s preview on local news in Jackson, MS & in USA Today. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Great to talk w/ @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social & Bishop Barber today about the power of story in this moral moment. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

An important conversation w/ @velshi.com about where we go from here. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

There’s nothing un-American about questioning a fascism that defies the will of the people to terrorize American communities and assert total control.

Trump has masked agents rounding people up on American streets. Every dictator in history has done the same. We’re exposing Trump’s masked agents in our latest ad, and we’re running it inside the White House on July 4th — so Trump sees exactly what we think of him.

Hundreds of us gathered outside the Capitol as Congress considers cutting essential resources to our most vulnerable neighbors and raising the military budget to 1 Trillion dollars. Many of us were arrested as we prayed for our elected officials to choose love and compassion over greed and fear.

During the Senate’s vote-a-rama today, faith leaders & other demonstrators processed to the Capitol w/ 51 caskets to symbolize the 51,000 expected deaths next year if Congress moves forward with its cuts to healthcare. 38 moral witnesses were arrested.

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

For those following along, the Senate clerk is currently reading page 440 of the 940 page text of Trump’s big, ugly bill that Senate Republicans introduced in the middle of the night on Friday and advanced to the floor for debate last night.

Over 10 million Americans would lose their healthcare under Trump’s Tax Scam — and that doesn’t include the millions more who would lose their coverage because of GOP cuts to the Affordable Care Act. Call your GOP senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

🚨 NEW AD FROM SAVE AMERICA MOVEMENT: Steve Daines tried to sell our public lands to billionaires and oil execs. We’ve got just 3 words for him: Not. One. Acre. Watch and share now and help us fight back →

It is not unreasonable to conclude that we are all in grave danger. Still, dire as the threat is, we cannot despair. This is a moment to remember those who came before us. More here: open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Don’t believe the lies about “waste, fraud, & abuse.” The proposed cuts in Trump’s big, ugly bill would take healthcare away from 16 million Americans, killing 51,000 people next year. Listen to people who know what these cuts mean.

Please help us make sure your Senator doesn’t vote to take healthcare away from 16 million Americans before listening to what it would mean for Sloan & Suvya. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

Great conversation today with Bishop Barber & Secretary @petebuttigieg.bsky.social about how today’s resistance to policy violence can help us build the coalition we need to reconstruct American democracy in years to come. Forward together!

I'll be talking with Reverend Dr. Barber and @wilsonhartgrove.bsky.social over on Substack Live later today. Tune in at 1pm ET.

The Senate is preparing to vote on a bill that would take healthcare away from 16 million Americans. They are not scheduled to hear from any of those people. Here’s one story they need to hear. ourmoralmoment.substack.com/p/the-voice-...

NEW: A mere 21% of Americans support the U.S. taking initial military action against Iran. This war is illegal, dangerous, and deeply unpopular. Americans must unite to build a movement that meets it with a definitive “No.” Rev. Dr. Barber II and @wilsonhartgrove.bsky.social in @commondreams.org:
