On June 12th, 2018, Reverend William J. Barber II hosted a discussion on poverty for members of Congress. People living in poverty across the United States from California to Kentucky to Michigan to West Virginia told us their stories. We heard from a victim of a predatory loan who lives in a trailer home infested with mold. We heard from an undocumented immigrant who struggles to afford rent in Los Angeles. We heard from a retired coal miner who is still fighting for fair benefits from greedy corporations.
As Americans struggle to pay their bills, the Trump Administration continues to spit in the face of poor people. Donald Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court a judge who poses a real threat to historically disadvantaged communities, including people of color, LGBTQ Americans, workers and the poor. The president has also crammed his administration with officials who care more about making money for themselves than protecting our environment, keeping our workers safe, and advocating for the rights of unions and consumers. Poor people are under attack from those in power, and the Poor Peoples Campaign is on the forefront of this fight.
This is not a liberal or a conservative movement. It is a deeply moral movement. The people who are hurting the most have linked up to say, We wont be silent anymore. Reverend Barber launched the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival to pick up where Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. left off 50 years ago.
I think its really easy for us as human beings to punish people or dismiss people because we dont love them. And we cant love them, we say, if we dont know them. Amy Jo Hutchinson told us about people living in poverty in West Virginia and the governors immoral proposal to add work requirements to SNAP benefits.
