A hard day for those who care about justice. Sharing these words from Rev. William Barber II, who’s long been a moral voice for the poor. “The passage of this bill is deadly, but it is not a defeat. We must meet it with a resurrection.”

Screenshot of a statement from Rev. William Barber condemning GOP budget bill. He calls it “one of the most morally-bankrupt pieces of legislation in our nation’s history,” citing deep cuts to healthcare, food assistance, and immigrant support, while benefiting the wealthy. He describes the bill as “policy murder in plain sight” and criticizes lawmakers who invoke religion while supporting harmful policies. He ends with a call to organize, vote out those responsible, and “build a movement together that can reconstruct our democracy.”
