1. Tell the truth. 2. Organize 10 states to protest at governors' offices; deliver caskets, etc. 3. "Own our power" - go to the states ignored by Dems & lied to by Rs. Organize their pain...this means present a protest telling what Ds will do their first day in power. 4. Moral fusion organizing of everyone who's been attacked. Migrant workers, women, people of color, the poor, immigrants. 5. Don't fight in the silos. We have to present a united front. "Moral Mondays" with Rev. Barber. I wanted to take notes to make sure I understood what to do.

Love Bishop Barber's about a clock to show every time a hospital closes, a person who lost healthcare dies, a child, an elder, a legal immigrant is detained,a person detained by ICE dies. Do it. @msnbc @alivelshi

Rev. Barber is one of the best organizer and truth tellers in the country. We need to listen to him!

And, we need to step up … mobilize, organize, communicate, come together and fight forward. Does it take hard work? Yes! But, we will wish we had put in the hard work when our democracy and sanity are gone … then, it will be too late.

Bishop Barber is a kind gentleman. He is most definitely one of the best organizers there is in America today. He has always spoken truth to power. No matter the cause.

While this wanna be dictator is keeping our nose to the grind in house and in our personal lives this administration is simultaneously making deals with African nations to eventually claim their land and own their resources. Yes its called peace agreements all in the name of providing security but we African Americans know first had that America hasn't kept an agreement since the Native American treaties and the 40 acres and a mule promise to black folks. And now they need Africa but have no intent on dealing fairly. Bottomline, we are going to be kept in proverty and the only relief is going to be 'go kill and fight your brother in the motherland and get that gold, colbalt, tatanium and oil for us'. We need to come together with a plan that includes meeting with African leaders to put together a plan that empowers African Americans. Like building a nationwide black owned cellphone company that can higher our people. Bottomline, you cannot have wifi signal without the colbalt from Africa. So technically we own the wifi industry. Secondly, we need to get serious about the debt of reparations owed to us and put a LIEN on American that can be used as leverage to secure our rights. Finally we need to network with Veteran groups who are displeased with being forced to do inhumane and unconstitutional acts of war. Lastly a massive sit in and work shut down is in order. We have no time to waste. The Supreme Court has shown that they are not in the corner of the American people. We The People are paying all their salaries. God Almighty is on the side of WE THE PEOPLE.

Reverend Barber, as one of your original Moral Monday activists in North Carolina, I want you to know that we carry that spirit—for 12 years now—each day as we fight this tyrant and his regime and the fascists who came before him and installed themselves in the halls of the NCGA. We are still fighting-with every breath. My children, now much older, march with us. Thank you for leading the way and helping to build our strong foundation here in NC, where trumpism arrived well ahead of trump. Forward Together!

Have participated in Dr Barber rallies in NC. Every time this amazing spiritual Leader speaks, I cry.

Moral Mondays are not a new thing. His battle for American rights has been long & deliberate.

We need every eligible voter to register and encourage a vast majority to vote. It’s the only way we will save our Democracy.

As long as politicians can ignore the “will of the people” because they don’t have to face the consequences of their actions, we are not living in a Democracy.

Absolutely 💯 Reverend. And thank you for that: DEI IS D-I-E,

We are to choose LIFE not injustice.

Jesus wants peacemakers. People just want to live in peace and have universal health care, living wages, public education and time to be creative!! That’s the vision we need to hear from anyone who wants to represent us. Or we’ll have to secure these things for ourselves!
