We got to shine the light on it. you to be adopted. It's not a moment. It is a movement. We come to fight, we come to stand for what's right. We come to stand for justice. Peace! No! But it's good enough to charge. Don't be silent. You got a voice. Raise your voice. It's not. I And I want to piggyback on what Reverend Ren said. I think about the blind man that was sitting there when Jesus was coming by, and he asked him what need of you? And then he met the blind man and told him, All I want is my sight. Are we seeing again? Do we see what is happening? Are we gonna see. Oh we got Oh, we got to raise our voices. Oh we got a fight. If I was here, we can get. Angry and I understand that there are some bad people out there and it's OK. Because we cannot continue. To let what is happening. In front of our eyes and not do anything. We cannot be silent anymore. It's not a moment. It is a moment. Going forward and not one step. Move forward, keep moving. And if you see someone that you know that should be out here, that is not out here, go back and tell them it's not a moment, it is a movement and we are determined to move forward. We will not be silent anymore. We will continue to be loud here. We will continue to be loud at the vote at the at the voting booth. We will continue to be loud in the get out to vote movement. We will continue to be loud everywhere that we go. We're not gonna have Ariel Collin from 5501 come and share with us this morning. Hey y'all. Thank you all for coming out to this event. Um, I believe this is our 5th event at 5051 North Carolina and to reference what, uh, Ms. Powell said, it's 50 states, 50 protests, one movement, and we are all part of it. You can I don't really have a lot to say. I didn't prepare much, um, but I just wanted to express that our team is so grateful for all of the support and all of the passion and just everything. We're, we're eternally grateful for everyone and all of our partners and their support. Campaign is sponsoring the stage and the sound, so if you feel so inclined to help donate, please donate to the North Carolina Poor People's Campaign. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. E. Let's give 5501 a hand, amen, for helping bring us together. Isn't that powerful 50 protests, 50 states, one movement. That's what we have to keep stressing. This is one movement as we all come together as one. We're now gonna bring to the stage Doctor Reverend Doctor Hannah Broom from the North Carolina, North Carolina National Church of Council. Oh my gosh. It's, it seems like somebody's here to ready to make a moment. It's not like somebody's here to lift their voices. Somebody's here to say enough is enough. somebody here say lift up our voices. I am Reverend Doctor Henna, our borough president of the North Carolina Council of Churches. I am also national director of religious affairs for repairs of the breach, and we will not be silent anymore. I bring you greetings on behalf of the North Carolina Council of Churches. It is a prophetic fellowship grounded in sacred texts with one moral vision. We are gathered here not for a political performance but for a moral purpose. This is not about party red, blue, or green. It's about, it's about people, about protecting the humanity and dignity of the poor, the working class, the immigrant, the child, the elder, and the earth. Because what is at stake is is not just policy but it's about our democracy and it's about the democracy of our souls. This administration's proposed budget is not simply a spreadsheet with numbers on it, but it is a statement of values that this country has, and we say. Any budget that cuts $800 billion from Medicaid, that puts over 36 million people at risk of losing health care, that threatens food security for children and shelters for struggling families is not a moral budget. A betrayal of our sacred obligations to love our neighbors. And so while we grieve the stripping of health care and safety nets, we also confront the suffocating of our democracy, voter suppression, attacks on our rights to protest, efforts to silence the voices of the marginalized. Let it be known here. Democracy does not die in a single day. It erodes when good people remain silent and what. We do not Right, 2 nights. Clear Movement is about workers, about the right to fair wages, safe conditions, paid family leave and dignity on the job. It's for the laborers, the school teachers, the sanitation workers, and the nurses. Labor is sacred and should be paid what we are worth. So today, so today we reclaim the moral ground. We walk forward with pastors and imams, rabbis and temple elders, the street purposes and the porch mothers. We are all crying out, not one more soul will be left. We I Neighbors, the childcare workers and the public defenders, the, the grocery clerks and the sanitation crew, the technology and the teachers all sitting together. is worthy of justice. We call for the youth who have inherited broken promises, the elders who remember movement past, the undocumented who labor in the shadows, and the disenfranchised who have not given up. We rise together. We declaring that today. We declare not by light nor by fear, but by our faith we are gathered here, not for parties, polls, or pride, but for people who have been cast aside. We rise in love, we march in grace to build a free and sacred place. That's the spiritual battle of the hearts of democracy. So I say to you today, forward together and that one step back. Let justice roll down like water. And righteousness like an ever flowing stream, we stand today to reclaim the moral ground. We, the people, still unfinished, pressed for the greater light with dreams, king dreamed beneath the steeple and in the jail cell that night. Forward justice, sacred journey. All around, I love the law and walk hand in hand on this emancipated ground. We the people are still becoming from a union wide and strong, not just for the privileged true, but for all who've waited long. We hold these truths still trembling, that every soul is born with worth, yet justice delayed is justice denied, and there's blood crying here in this earth. Dr. King. He dreamed the dream. and valleys raised. Sister Fannie said, I'm sick and tired, but keep on marching undaunted and unfazed, so we rise with fire in our voices, with hands still building, bold and brave, not just for freedom's memory, but for the justice we must save. Forward justice is not just the phrase, it's the world we walk, the call we raise. Until this nation truly lives its creed, we move on as one in words. And indeed it together. I Yeah I Come on than Yeah I see. So this movement does not go on just by 1 or just by 2, but it takes everyone. It takes all of us in our respective places to continue to push and to move this movement forward. There's some powerful groups and organizers out here this evening, this afternoon, and we want to recognize some of those out here this afternoon. So when we call their names, we wanna give them a shout, a loud noise to show our appreciation for them helping to organize this movement and continue in this fight. We have some tables over to my right, your left, um, on, on the side of the wall over here if you're interested in joining in these organizations go by, see them, see what you can do everyone can do something. We all have the ability to do something whether it's send out a text, send out a phone call, send an email, share a flyer, be on this stage, be out in the crowd, wherever we fit in, this movement has room for any and everybody. Everyone fits in. This is a one size fits all movement. Hey, everybody is welcome here. Everybody is included here. This is an all-inclusive movement. When we're in a nation that likes to be exclusive and keep people out and not count people in, everybody's included in this movement. But let's give it up for wait women have mercy this morning. Can we give them a shout this morning? Tell them thank you for being here. Union Southern service workers, can we shout them out this morning? North Carolina Second Chance Alliance is in the house. Can we shout them out this morning? 5501 is in the house this morning. Can we shout them out? The North Carolina Poor People's Campaign is in the house. Can we shout them out? Speak out, socials in the house. Can we shout them out this morning? We are grateful again for all these organizations and so many more that may be out here. If you are an organization that has been part of this movement, we will give you honor so all of those who may, we may not have got their names this morning. We may not have got them on the list. Let's give them a hand and shout them out this morning for all the work that they are doing. Now I give a shout out to the person that's besides you today. Tell them, thank you for being here. And now there's one last shout out and this one ought to be the loudest because you're gonna shout for yourself this morning. Give yourselves a hand for being out here this morning. Give yourselves a hand for standing up this morning. Give yourselves a hand for being a voice for those that are voiceless this morning. We celebrate all of you and our diversity this morning and thank you all for being here. But now I'm gonna invite Sangria back. She's gonna to talk to us about this moral budget that we are facing. Once again, hello everyone, hello, and for those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Sandra Noble. I am a national social justice organizer with Repairs of the breach on the organizing committee for the North Carolina Poor People's Campaign. Yes, yes, yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. So today is the day before the resurrection Day. But it is a very significant day for me because today, 19 years ago April 19th, I was resurrected back into society from incarceration a couple blocks down the street, OK, within the North Carolina justice system, so I then went from the prison to the process to the promise, the prison to the process to the promise. Therefore, yes, I am directly impacted in many ways, and I can tell you about homelessness, suffering with illnesses and lack of medication, not being able to vote because of my felonies, not being able to get a job due to my criminal background, and I won't. I will tell you it's some. And it's stinky right now. All right. I know I think. Cause I smelled it when it hit me in the face. And our last, our last I took it. Like a thief in the night. By them lawmakers, we wake up, jobs gone, housing gone. Food benefits gone, children education gone. All this is a possibility that we could lose it tomorrow. And it'd be ate up by a $5 trillion tax break for millionaires. Oh, that's right So what do we do? We demand a more budget. I said, what can we do? But I'm gonna talk to you about that in a little while. Well right now I'm really done. A that a subject we need a more budget. Yeah No with Yeah. And we're gonna get it moving. That Thank y'all. I'll be back to talk to y'all in a little bit. Greeting Islama tomb, which is a Muslim greeting meaning peace be upon you all. Since Trump administration came into power, his administration has launched a war against black, brown, immigrants, refugees, working class, and all Americans jam. From attacks on DEI, deregulating industries, firing workers, deporting immigrants and refugees in court violation. Trump has a clear message. He doesn't care for you if you are not a racist donor for Trump. Shame. Trump has made another false claim of ending wars. Instead, he has threatened Panama, Panama Canal and Greenland. Shame. jeopardizes safety of Ukrainians. has given a green light to Netanyahu for continued genocide in and has planned for beachfront property in Palestine. Our response is clear we will unite black, brown, white, working class immigrants, LGBTQI, and people of our background to fight back. We are clear that it is not the Congress or Supreme Court that will rush to save us. It is the people's power that will save us. We will corner the racist and extremist forces. We will change the balance of power. We will defeat the oppressor, and we will build a new society. Lastly, we need to continue organizing. Thank you again to all the organizers for gathering here. There's also gonna be a May Day rally, International Worker Rights Day on May 1st. We need to continue organizing forward together, not one. Thank you, man. We're not gonna have AL come and speak to us about voter suppression and HB 691. Friends and neighbors, we've come here today to tell our elected officials, our fellow Americans, and the rest of the world that we wanna move forward together, not one step back. Yeah B We know this is what the majority of Americans want. The majority of Americans want what's best for the majority of Americans. But that's not what the billionaires and the politicians in their pockets want. They wanna run roughshod over all. And our planet to enrich their own pockets. They know that fundamentally we move forward together through the power of our vote. Our vote is our voice, the most basic unit of our collective power, which is why they've been trying to undermine the power of our vote for years now. It used to be poll taxes. Now it's voter ID laws. It's gerrymandering. It's the same act. It's attempting to disenfranchise over 60,000 Carolinians on clerical errors they had no part in. You've probably heard about Justice Griffin's challenge of votes for Justice Riggs. What you might not know is that the Republicans tried the strategy before, trying to remove 225,000 Americans from voter rolls. Well, last year they were shot down by a federal judge, so now they're trying it again in a more favorable jurisdiction right here in North Carolina. Republicans even filed a lawsuit to recalculate totals in other races as well. We are a test case. If they win these cases, they'll take this strategy all over the country, disenfranchising Americans of their lawful votes. Can't win elections, honestly. The majority of Americans want to move forward together, not one. Well, some of our representatives are fighting back to defend our votes, our voices, our collective power. Representatives Ball and Ruben of the NC House have introduced HB 691, the Voter Protection and Reliance Act. That's right, cheer for him, all right. This bill would ensure that no future Griffins get to swoop down and snatch your vote up in their talents based on rules that weren't in place on election day. Well that bill is sitting in the rules committee right now and we're asking for your help. We started a petition urging that this bill be moved swiftly through committee that our representatives pass this legislation to protect our votes. They want to use us as a test case. Well, let's show the rest of the nation how to be proactive in our defense against their strategy of disenfranchisement. We're distributing a flyer out in the crowd with a QR code you can scan to sign that petition. You can also find the petition across 5051 MCs socials. Please. Share it, stand up for your. Mhm. Yeah You Oh. The people united we. No. Oh. I No we die. That's right. So while we're right here right now and we're united, I'm gonna do a call to action. Let's break the silence and demand a more budget using our nonviolent, more direct action of one on ones with our legislators located right here at our state house in our White House through a national congressional call and never sign in focusing on the moral budget through Congress. So did you know. Repairs of the breach, North Carolina Poor People's Campaign. This is a I will cut for millions, that's being proposed. Training healthcare. Housing, education, and safety just as Dr. Broom got up and told us, oh, like cutting $88 billion in Medicaid, y'all this budget gonna cut. $8 billion in Medicaid y'all. Gonna cut $230 billion in food resources and more living the leaving the poor and low wage do so it's time for us to speak up and speak our truth. North Carolina Poor People's Campaign. Repairs of the breach with Bishop Barber. Together we are asking you to join us for Holy Weekus April 12th through the 27th. Make that call to your senators and your representatives. I ask you to go to repairersohebreach.org. Or North Carolina Poor People's Campaign to learn more at the end of the subject we need a more budget just like I said so I am challenging you all to go to repasohebreach.org, North Carolina Poor People's Campaign.org and learn more about coming and joining us with our national call in campaign. Thank you all. Thank you, thank you. I thought it's a regular. The people united will never be. Yeah The people united, we never. it Oh Thank you again Sangria. Thank you to all of our speakers this afternoon. Thank you again all for being here. So Bishop Harper has told us in this movement some things that we have to make sure that we cover. We have to have a moral analysis of all that's taking place. We have to have a moral articulation of what needs to be done, and then there needs to be a moral agenda. And then the Sangria gave us a little, there also has to be moral actions that we sit down to do to make this movement continue to move. Y'all, I gotta be loud and right. I don't wanna be loud and wrong. $800 billion 800 billion dollars in Medicaid. We gotta be loud and right, $800 billion in Medicaid. Definitely, definitely, so one thing that we can also do, you can take your phones and you can text to this number 328-46. That's the number. Text the word moral, M O R A L. Text moral to the number 32846 and you'll get updates of the moral actions and things that are continuing to do in this movement. Once again, text the word moral, M O R A L to the number 32846. Now we're gonna have Doctor Hannah Broom come back and share with us some of the action items moving forward that we are moving forward with. Some of the actions that we're going to have is more on Mondays in DC at the Capitol. Tomorrow Mondays in DC at the Capitol. Pressure without being silent. So at the Capitol in DC if you want to take the train, the plane, the bus to join us, it starts on April 28th and it's gonna be the first Monday of every month until justice rolls down like order.
