When our highest court unleashes a state-by-state attack on women’s rights and the rights to control over our own lives and dignity, it’s time for a moral revival.
When 140 million poor and low-income people can be ignored by our policies and politics, it’s time for a moral revival.
When our country makes it easier to get a gun than to vote, it’s time for a moral revival.
When millionaires become billionaires and the billionaires fly off to space while their own workers are overworked and underpaid, it’s time for a moral revival.
You already know this, John. That’s why you are here. But with every state law and court ruling that comes out, it is hard to have hope. In the face of so much cruelty and hypocrisy, it’s hard to believe things will get better. Here’s what you need to know to carry you through:
We have moral authority. We have people power. And when we take action together, we will win.
If the extremists in power are cynical enough to stick together behind their agenda, we must stick together to create an honest, fair, loving country that prioritizes the poor.
Instead of waiting for our well-being to trickle down from those at the top, we must organize and lift from the bottom, for everyone to rise.
We aren’t just counting down the days until the midterm elections — we have a plan to show candidates and lawmakers that we will vote for our people and for our lives:
- We will register poor and low-income voters.
- We will call and email and show up at our lawmakers’ offices.
- We will head to Washington in September to take direct action in support of the Third Reconstruction.
- We will show up at the polls on November 8, 2022.
- And we will continue to organize and build the power of the 140 million poor and low-income people in this country.
Join this work for the Third Reconstruction, John. Click here to say you are in, and check out our 7-step plan to show our strength during the midterm elections.
It’s our time,
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
