You don't have the bandwidth to be focused on immigrants that have illegally entered the country. You're supporting #openborders while millions of Black Americans starve out.🙄 We make up 90% of the most recent unemployment surge, but you got time to be worried about migrants? And that's on top of most of us being on the bottom economically??? How dare you.🤦🏿‍♀️ #RevWilliamBarber #politics #economics

You should delete that tweet but you won't, #RevWilliamBarber.🤦🏿‍♀️I'm over ppl using the #history of Black American descendant of slαv∈ry to burnish their lefty reputations, or to benefit some group other than #BlackAmericans.🤷🏿‍♀️

Yall haven't finished the job with us! Yall really are acting as if everything is fine now; like unemployment, bottom-caste-status, and ray si sum is fixed; as if the consequences of descending from slαv∈s no longer exists! #ICE

We last raised the US federal minimum wage 14 years ago. This is unacceptable

The minimum has been an unlivable $7.25 an hour under three presidents. Today’s wage is worth less than at any point since 1956

Yes, Black officers killed Tyre Nichols. What is the correct response to that?

The hierarchy of racial terror has never been enforced only by white people. Nor has it harmed only Black people

From church to classroom: the Rev William Barber takes his ‘moral mission’ to Yale

The founder of #MoralMondays will lead the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at the divinity school of Yale University, where he will teach as a “professor of the practice”.

Barber has big ambitions for the center, which will surprise no one who has followed the path of a man who has always set gargantuan goals for himself: eradicating American poverty, ending environmental destruction, combating racism and putting moral purpose back at the center of public life.

The idea behind the Yale center, he told the Guardian in an interview, was to dig down to “our deepest moral values, both in the scriptures and in the constitution”.
