Democracy serves as a way of looking at daily life where the common good is defined by people who have power with each other, not power over one another.
Movements begin with the telling of
untold stories. The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival
has pulled off five hearings in the last few weeks—in Richmond, Virginia,
Wichita, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri, Little Rock, Arkansas and Racine,
Wisconsin.
We’ve heard stories of farmers
committing suicide because they can’t provide for their families alongside
immigrant families at risk of being torn apart and veterans who survived war
only to die from Agent Orange exposure back at home. We have proclaimed “somebody is hurting our people”
after people whose votes have been suppressed by felony disenfranchisement,
voter purges, and the closing down of polling places and low wage workers who
risk homelessness and incarceration because of poverty speak out.
At the conclusion of each hearing, we
read the demands of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral
Revival and affirm that we believe in automatic voter registration at the age
of 18, universal single-payer health care, a $15 living wage and a union, and
clean air, water and land.
Forward together, not one step back!

per 100,000) and lowest in Luxembourg and Cyprus (less than 200 people per
100,000). In both men and women, lung cancer is the most common killer. The
