Revive Us Again: Vision and Action in Moral Organizing

Rev. William Barber is the architect and leader of the Moral Mondays movement, which arose in 2013 in opposition to Republican policies in North Carolina that have restricted voting rights and blocked health care expansion. The movement has since expanded to cities across the country, and with the election of Donald Trump, Rev. Barber's message is more necessary than ever. Drawing from the history of social movements in the US, especially the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Poor People's Campaign, Rev. Barber and the contributors to this volume speak to the most pressing issues of our time, including Black Lives Matter, the fight for a $15 minimum wage, the struggle to protect voting rights, the march for women's rights, and the movement to overcome poverty and unite the dispossessed across all dividing lines.
