Rev Barber on Creating a Fusion Movement
to Defeat Trump and Move Forward Together
with
The Rev. Dr. William Barber is Pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church, in
Goldsboro, North Carolina and architect of the Forward Together Moral
Movement that gained national acclaim with its Moral Monday protests
which drew tens of thousands of North Carolinians and other moral
witnesses to the state legislature. He has served as president of the North
Carolina NAACP, the largest state conference in the South. His two most
recent books include Forward Together (Chalice Press) and The Third
Reconstruction (Beacon Press).
And, Dr. William Barber is the founder and president of Repairers of the
Breach, an organization that seeks to build a progressive agenda rooted
in a moral framework to counter the ultra-conservative constructs that try
to dominate the public square. Rev. Barber one of the most influential,
progressive religious figures in the country.
Tens of thousands of men and women rose up in Chicago and cities from
coast to coast to demanding that everyone in America have the right to
organize and join a union and the Rev. William Barber said “I’m proud to
stand with them, because their fight is central to the battle against poverty,
racism, and inequality”.
Earlier this year Rev. Barber announced an effort by faith and moral leaders
to carry forward Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of a Poor People’s
Campaign, working across twenty-five states to alleviate the triad forces of
poverty, militarism, and racism that Dr. King knew were poisoning our country
then and still threaten us today.
