Third Act: Homepage - Third Act Poor Peoples's Campaign: Poor People's Campaign – A National Call for Moral Revival (poorpeoplescampaign.org) Join us as We Build the Third Reconstruction Drawing on the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights struggles of the 20th century, the Third Reconstruction is a revival of our constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the 140 million poor and low-income people in the country are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation. The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, Repairers of the Breach and the Kairos Center have been a part of building a movement towards a Third Reconstruction for years. On May 20, the co-chairs of the Poor People's Campaign, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, joined Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Barbara Lee as they announced a non-partisan congressional resolution to support this movement, entitled: Third Reconstruction: Fully Addressing Poverty & Low Wages From the Bottom Up. This historic effort comes as a response to years of movement-building and emerges from the pain and organizing power of the 140 million. It reflects an omnibus vision to restructure our society from the bottom up, recognizing that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction we must simultaneously deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. It is one part of a broader movement to realize a Third Reconstruction, which we are building across the country in the Poor People's Campaign's 45 state coordinating committees and network of more than 250 labor and organizational partners and hundreds of faith partners, and dozens of national faith bodies. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/somethingcame-from-baltim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/somethingcame-from-baltim/support

May 26, 1965. One hundred years after the Civil War, Congress is debating a bill whose goal is to enforce the 15th amendment, which, in 1870, promised the right to vote regardless of race. But that's not what happened. Now the Civil Rights movement is saying: It's time to make real the promises of the Constitution for all Americans. The forces that undermined the First Reconstruction, and gutted the 15th Amendment, are resisting those demands. In the middle stands Lyndon B. Johnson, a Southern Senator with a record of opposing civil rights. Robert Caro, acclaimed journalist and Johnson biographer, tells us, what will change Johnson's mind and turn him into a champion of the Voting Rights Act? And how will he manage the impossible task of getting it passed when so many Southern Senators are hellbent against it?Visit History.com/Reconstruction for more.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Across the Western Hemisphere, Indigenous environmental activists are under attack. They face violence and repression as they continue to defend their water and lands from right-wing governments and extractivist multinational companies. In Chile, the Indigenous Mapuche people have been leading the charge when it comes to defending protected environmental areas from occupying forces. Back in June, Mapuche land rights defender Alberto Curamil was seriously injured in a shooting by police. Meanwhile, in Honduras, a U.S.-trained former Honduran army intelligence officer was recently found guilty over the assassination of Indigenous Lenca environmental activist Berta Caceres. Roberto David Castillo, the president of an internationally-financed hydroelectric company, was found guilty of being co-collaborator in ordering the murder. Our guest is Francisca Stuardo, a Santiago-based consultant for the international climate advocacy group Global Witness. She works on their land and environmental defenders campaign, which highlights threats against activists and pushes businesses, financiers and governments to protect them. On Monday, July 12, the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival announced that it will launch a month of Moral Mondays, featuring peaceful civil disobedience in Washington D.C. and other state capitals, through August 2. It is being billed as the Season of Non-Violent Moral Action. This comes after the For the People Act, a groundbreaking bill in defense of voter rights, failed to pass the Senate, as Republicans voted against starting debate on it. The Poor Peoples Campaign has also been calling for the realization of the Third Reconstruction in the United States. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. Our guest is the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival along with the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

It may be difficult to imagine that a consequential black electoral politics evolved in the United States before the Civil War, for as of 1860, the overwhelming majority of African Americans remained in bondage. Yet free black men, many of them escaped slaves, steadily increased their influence in electoral politics over the course of the early American republic. Despite efforts to disfranchise them, black men voted across much of the North, sometimes in numbers sufficient to swing elections. In The First Reconstruction: Black Politics in America from the Revolution to the Civil War (UNC Press, 2021), Van Gosse offers a sweeping reappraisal of the formative era of American democracy from the Constitution's ratification through Abraham Lincoln's election, chronicling the rise of an organized, visible black politics focused on the quest for citizenship, the vote, and power within the free states. Full of untold stories and thorough examinations of political battles, this book traces a First Reconstruction of black political activism following emancipation in the North. From Portland, Maine and New Bedford, Massachusetts to Brooklyn and Cleveland, black men operated as voting blocs, denouncing the notion that skin color could define citizenship.

Today on Sojourner Truth, Part 2 of our Poor People's Campaign on the Third Reconstruction. On Monday, June 21, thousands of poor people, low-wage workers, campaigners and faith leaders from across the United States gathered online for a mass assembly organized by the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. The assembly, which simultaneously featured a socially-distanced rally in North Carolina, called for the realization of the Third Reconstruction. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. The Poor Peoples Campaign describes the Third Reconstruction as a revival of the country's constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the country's 140 million poor are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation. During today's program, you will hear more speeches, testimony and music from the historic event, which was led by Poor Peoples Campaign co-chairs Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

Members of Congress have introduced a non-partisan resolution entitled, A Third Reconstruction: It's Time to Fully Address Poverty and Low Wages from the Bottom Up. Inspired by decades of fierce campaigning, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects a progressive vision for a fundamental restructuring of society. The resolution points out that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction, U.S. society must deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. Furthermore, the assembly kicked off a one-year campaign dedicated to building a mass Moral March on Washington and Poor Peoples & Low-Wage Workers Assembly on June 18, 2022. The hybrid online and in-person mass assembly included over 40 state coordinating committees, over 200 organizing partners, and thousands of faith leaders. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you exclusive audio from that assembly. During todays program, you will hear speeches, testimony and music from the historic event, which was led by Poor Peoples Campaign co-chairs Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

On Monday, June 21, thousands of poor people, low-wage workers, campaigners and faith leaders from across the United States gathered online for a mass assembly organized by the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. The assembly, which simultaneously featured a socially-distanced rally in North Carolina, called for the realization of the Third Reconstruction. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. The Poor Peoples Campaign describes the Third Reconstruction as a revival of the country's constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the country's 140 million poor are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation. Members of Congress have introduced a non-partisan resolution entitled, A Third Reconstruction: It's Time to Fully Address Poverty and Low Wages from the Bottom Up. Inspired by decades of fierce campaigning, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects a progressive vision for a fundamental restructuring of society. The resolution points out that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction, U.S. society must deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. Furthermore, the assembly kicked off a one-year campaign dedicated to building a mass Moral March on Washington and Poor Peoples & Low-Wage Workers Assembly on June 18, 2022.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our panelists are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg and Dr. Gerald Horne. Juneteenth is now a national holiday. A step forward, many say. But is it also an opportunity for Republicans who voted for it to hide their ongoing attempts to chip away at the hard-fought rights of Black people. What about the attempts to suppress and in some cases criminalize the teaching of Black and Brown history in schools and universities across the United States? Battles continue in Washington, D.C. around the right to vote. The For the People Act is in some trouble, as well as the George Floyd police reform bill. What happened after so-named Emancipation, including the First Reconstruction and its destruction? Is a Third Reconstruction needed? The Supreme Court has made some controversial rulings and the much-anticipated Putin-Biden summit is over. Our panelists give their thoughts on what came out of it, as well as what came out of the G7 meetings and their wider implications. Also, the latest on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as well as recent elections in Chile and Peru.

WHAT: The Nebraska Poor People's Campaign holds news conference(s) at the offices of Representative Don Bacon and Representative Adrian Smith to demand that they embrace the Third Reconstruction resolution to end poverty and low wages in this country. Emerging from the pain and organizing power of the 140 million people living in poverty or with low wages in this nation, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects an omnibus vision for a fundamental restructuring of society that lifts from the bottom. The nonpartisan resolution is a response to years of movement building to create the collective resolve necessary to implement real and transformational legislative action. WHO: The Rev. Victoria Parker-Mothershed, Nebraska Poor People's Campaign coordinating committee Theomusicologist, and impacted testifier speaking about the injustice of our medical system. Angela Montalvo, Nebraska Poor People's Campaign coordinating committee tri-chair and impacted testifier speaking about military injustice. The Rev. Lisa Hadler, Nebraska Poor People's Campaign coordinating committee tri-chair offering prayer. More directly impacted people sharing their stories. WHEN: June 7, 2021, 11 a.m. CT/10 a.m. MT, and 2 p.m. CT/1 p.m. MT for the national online program WHERE: Office of Don Bacon, 13906 Gold Circle, Suite 101, Omaha. Office of Adrian Smith, 1811 West Second Street, Suite 275, Grand Island Additional speakers online at www.facebook.com/NebraskaPPC. National program online at www.3rdReconstruction.org at 2 p.m. CT/1 p.m. MT. WHY: Drawing on the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights struggles of the 20th century, the Third Reconstruction is a revival of our constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the 140 million are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation. This resolution recognizes that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction we must simultaneously deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. We are building to June 21, when we will hold a National Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers Assembly, which will be held online and at a socially distanced rally in Raleigh. The Poor People's Campaign then launches a one-year campaign toward a Moral March on Washington and Poor People's & Low-Wage Workers Assembly on June 18, 2022, in Washington, D.C. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/midwest-misfits/support
