In 2016 he led a moral revival tour that covered 26 states and attracted thousands. In 2017, he and colleagues launched a revival of the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign that was spearheaded by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and many others.
In 2018 the Poor People’s Campaign launched 40 days of moral, nonviolent civil disobedience in 40 states and Washington, DC, resulting in over 5000 acts of simultaneous civil disobedience in 36 state capitols and the US Capitol.

He is a great man
Wonderful man
Rev Barber is bringing together the issues of systemic racism, poverty and the environmental crisis. Our political leaders have used these to keep us divided. His message is needed for the healing of America.

The child going to prison when the 18th so the kids can vote that is the truth
Time for another great migration Bishop....this time into power. Btwn 42 million - 47 million Blacks in this Nation.
Amen to that!!
Dr. Barber, you preachers speak out both sides of your mouth. You preach about David and Goliath and the power of the underdog who has right on his/her side. However, when it comes to the struggle of the black man against his oppressors, all of a sudden, the only solution you offer is non-violent resistance. Your justification for your position is the reality that the other side are masters of violence and that they are willing to perpetrate extreme violence against the black community. Why is it that the Jew, David, can strike Goliath in his forehead then cut off Goliath's head with a sword, but the black man must limit himself to marching, singing, and begging our Goliaths for justice? Something is very wrong with this picture.
@Rev. Dr William J Barber I am listening to mercy 🙏 and what to do
@Rev. Dr William J Barber okay
David is black!!
Jesus didn't have a whole lot of respect for the rich money changers. Jesus said allot about the rich people who own, and run this country. It's simpler for a Camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. It leaves very little, if any escape from the fate of the rich.
Will someone who has COVID-19 please give Barber a hug.
@Rev. Dr William J Barber What are you talking about? Put down the crack pipe and get a job.
With such shamefully hateful thoughts (NotMyRealName), it is indeed wise to hide your identity. This history lesson contextualizes our current world perfectly, and it is unfortunate it cannot be broadcast on all news networks 24 hours. The country desperately needs truth and enlightenment. Thank you, Rev Dr Barber.
@@cherylpeek-ball2280 Amen to that
GOD know s exactly who you are 😢
Nonsense based on conjecture and fallacy.
Would you like to elaborate on that?
The fallacy is that the military industrial complex provides value to the majority of Americans. It does not. It robs from taxpayers and gives it to private corporations, all while lowly military employees earn $30,000 a year and the list of American enemies grows longer and longer. The US military is a stain on the earth and the country, as it currently stands.
