On @CNN w/ @abbydphillip, @RevDrBarber making the key point about tight race in NC: Harris & Dems have a winning economic message. But they need to talk to poor & low-income folks—not just “middle class” voters.
Poor people are the swing vote in this election.

Don't let the legislative process be intimidating! Lawmakers want to hear from you on the issues that are important to you, and taking action is easier than you think. Check out our #KYGA25 accessibility guide to learn how to get yourself involved: bit.ly/3Eajf6N

1 out of every 30 people in the world is a migrant.
People move for a variety of reasons: to seek a better life, to find safety, to reunite with family.
No matter where they are from, no matter where they are going, the rights of migrants must be protected.

Thank you, President Carter.

President Jimmy Carter was a gifted man who walked with humility, modesty, and grace. On Tuesday, I had the honor of delivering a eulogy at his Lying in State Ceremony.
Today, we will gather at the National Cathedral to reflect on President Carter's life of service to our nation and the world.

"If we get caught, we will lie. We’ll say we weren’t involved. And the architects of this strategy knew: 'If we do this right, we can control politics for the next 50 to 60 years." Watch here for more: youtu.be/odORsJ9iZUM

#Democracy isn’t just words on paper—it’s action.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded us that “Democracy transformed from thin paper to thick action is the greatest form of government on Earth.”
It’s not enough to believe in justice—we must stand up for it. It’s not enough to hope for change—we must work for it. Let’s commit to being better, doing better, and building a democracy rooted in equality, justice, and love.

One job should be enough for people to:
- buy groceries
- afford healthcare
- pay for housing
- save for the future
ALT No job should pay so little that you need three of them to survive.

True #justice is not about momentary victories—it’s about creating lasting peace and equity. While violence may bring short-term results, it cannot sustain the dignity, love, and humanity needed to build the #BelovedCommunity.
As we approach King Holiday Observance 2025, themed #MissionPossible, let us recommit to the principles of #Nonviolence365. Real change happens when we choose true peace in conflict and justice over vengeance. Together, we can make this mission possible.

Today in History: The Montgomery Bus Boycott
On December 5, 1955, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, uniting a community to demand justice. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led with a clear vision, stating, “The bus boycott is not aimed at putting the bus company out of business but at putting justice in business.”
Today, we honor this legacy by continuing to stand for justice through nonviolence.
