- Rev. William J. Barber, II, gave a rousing and profound keynote about the work to build a broad-based grassroots movement that can be strong and sustainable enough to confront systemic racism, poverty, environmental devastation, the war economy, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism in America today.
--
William J. Barber, II is a pastor and social justice advocate building a broad-based grassroots movement, grounded in the moral tenets of faith-based communities and the constitution. As pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina (since 1993) and president of the North Carolina conference of the NAACP (2005-2017), Barber approaches social justice through the lens of the ethical and moral treatment of people as laid out in the Christian Bible, the Reconstruction and civil rights movements of the South, and the United States Constitution.
He is effective at building unusually inclusive fusion coalitions that are multiracial and interfaith, reaching across race, gender, age, and class lines, and dedicated to addressing poverty, inequality, and systemic racism. When his work to expand voting rights, health care, living wages, immigrant rights, public education and LGBTQ rights was thwarted by extremist state lawmakers in North Carolina, Barber began a series of "Moral Monday" rallies outside of the statehouse in Raleigh to protest laws that suppressed voter turnout, cut funding for public education and healthcare, and further disenfranchised poor white, black, First Nations, and LGBTQ communities. The Moral Mondays rallies and associated nonviolent acts of civil disobedience grew to involve tens of thousands of participants across North Carolina and spread to states across the South. The movement waged successful legal challenges to voter suppression and racial gerrymandering, winning twice at the Supreme Court.
Barber founded Repairers of the Breach, a leadership development organization, in 2014 to expand and build a national movement rooted in moral analysis, moral articulation, and moral action.
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 Dr Martin Lither King, Jr and many others. Beginning with an audit of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, and the war economy in the United States since 1968, the campaign has been recast for the twenty-first century, building state and local, non-partisan fusing movements committed to shifting the moral narrative, building power, and challenging laws and policies that hurt the poor and threaten our democracy.
William Barber received a B.A. (1985) from North Carolina Central University, an M.Div. (1989) from Duke University, and a D.Min. (2003) from Drew University. He has also received seven Honorary Doctorates. From 2006 to 2017, Barber was president of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP and has been a member of the national board of the NAACP since 2005.
He is a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and the Washington Post. Barber is also a 2018 MacArthur Fellow, 2018 Tar Heel of the Year, an Auburn Seminary Senior Fellow and holds the Visiting Social Justice Chair at St. John’s University.

There is a lot of poverty that is caused by racism, but that is not the only cause of it! We have to know all the different causes and work on them separately, as well as simultaneously! A lot of people feel bad about the fact that there is so much poverty, but feeling bad or guilty is not going to solve the problems involved! We have to devise workable, sustainable plans and then work those plans! There are not enough people proposing real workable plans! ……..For example, there will have to be schools that are relevant and motivate students to set goals and know how to reach them, regardless of their situation! We will have to know where to invest and how to invest in businesses owned by Blacks and all others that are seeking a way out of poverty. We will have to understand such things as enterprise zones and how to invest in them, and then know how to keep government investment flowing to the people who actually need it, rather than being siphoned off by the political leaders in our cities and wrongly spent or wrongly invested, or being outright stolen, etc. A lot of things like this have to be fully understood and worked on properly! There is a lot more to it than just giving speeches to make people more aware of the need! 😊
So what do we do about MSM??? Can we imagine if this man was allowed to speak - say on NPR???
I can’t become what I hate🤔🤔🤔
Who is this guy's deity?
who are the latinex ??
Dr. Barber said (at 54:12) when talking about "what He cares about or She cares about". Tha perplexed me......stopped me in my tracks. God is not a she. His gender is male. Jesus always prayed to His Father. His Father spoke from heaven when Jesus was baptised. I must write Dr. Barber about this because I am stopped in my tracks. I've got to know.
and you know this how?
I have violent brothers with their heads in the sand😢 🙏
God does NOT permit HIS BLOOD BOUGHT CHURCH to firm alliance with those who REJECT TRUE HOLINESS
What? JESUS LET YOUR BLOOD COVER
This guy is not truly what apostle Paul would say from god
Why was he at the movie watching homosexuality on screen!!
