Today at 1:00 PM ET, Rev. William Barber II will be convening along with other members of the clergy at ‘Moral Monday’ in Memphis, Tennessee to protest against the Big, Ugly, Deadly, Budget Bill and Trump’s attacks against immigrant communities.
Rev. Barber joined April Ryan to discuss how he will be marching on the Senate buildings of 11 states with caskets and clergy to symbolize the death that will come due to the passage of the Reconciliation Bill. He also discussed the need for a new Southern strategy, why we must point out the hypocrisy of those who voted for the Big, Brutish Bill, and how to form a moral movement.
