Repairers of the Breach: “We who have heard the cries of poor people, low-wage workers, and other impacted neighbors have work to do.
Until the poor are lifted; workers are paid; the sick are healed and insured; voting is not suppressed; police killing is stopped; land, air, and water are not poisoned; war is not pushed, promoted, and promulgated; humanity is respected; children are protected; and civil rights and labor rights and human rights are never neglected — until these things are actualized, their absence must embolden and intensify our dissent and agitation.
…We need to fight until hell freezes over, and then we need to fight on the ice. We don’t need compromise and capitulation. We need to send a message to our Congresspeople, loud and clear: Break the filibuster! Pass the bills! Pass voting rights, pass living wages, pass healthcare. Do what’s right for the American people, and do it for poor and low-wealth people, and do it now.”
