OUR COMMON GROUNDWhen reading a post of #RevWmBarber ( #MoralMonday) today which recalled the notion of a moral political agenda, I was reminded of what a deeper history teaches about this topic. It was Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist warrior who first raised the notion of a moral agenda in government and politics; and, first raised the serious consideration of what it meant by democracy. Study and read the work of this Ancestor.
Worth studying.

Frederick Douglass
On July 5, 1852 approximately 3.5 million African Americans were enslaved — roughly 14% of the total population of the United States. That was the state of the nation when Frederick Douglass was asked to deliver a keynote address at an Independence Day celebration. He accepted and, on a day white Americans celebrated their independence and freedom from the oppression of the British crown, Douglass delivered his now-famous speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July."
Moral monday
The GOP has spent decades pitting low-income Americans against each other for political gain.
@RevDrBarber
says if the 30 million Americans living in poverty united and voted, they would be "the largest potential swing vote in the country."

‘Racist tropes’ block Americans from seeing full poverty picture: Rev. William Barber III
The racist myth around Black poverty is as old as America. Republican candidates have been exploiting it for decades, but Donald Trump has been saying the quiet parts out loud on the campaign trail, casually painting an entire portion of the electorate – low wage workers – as an ugly stereotype. Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, Rev. Dr. William Barber joins Ali Velshi to explain why there is strength in numbers. “The largest swing vote with the most potential is 30 million voters. 7 million of poor, low wage voters voted last time, but 30 million didn't. That's the largest potential swing vote in the country that could fundamentally transform who gets elected and the kinds of policies that are implemented after the elections.”

“Join us …. White House candlelight prayer vigil … All are welcome,”
“Jesus said, “If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword,” and, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made clear, in an era of nuclear weapons that can destroy the whole world, our ultimate choice is not between violence and nonviolence, but between nonviolence and nonexistence ….”

The #MoralMonday tag is back in NC - apparently has been active in TN.
Yes, it's on Twitter. And Insta I think, but Insta's given up on a clear temporal search result?
Anyway, it's back. No idea about Tiktok.
