We Are Called to Be a Movement
Rev. William J. Barber II, President, Repairers of the Breach; Co-Chair, Poor People’s Campaign & New York Times Best-Selling Author
For years the Rev. William J. Barber II of the Poor People’s Campaign has been one of the most gifted moral fusion organizers, strategists and orators in the country. As an indispensable figure in the public policy and public theology landscape, he believes it’s time for everyone who cares about the state of our nation to heed the call and join forces to redeem the soul of America. It’s time to come together and renounce the politics of rejection, division and greed, and to lift up the common good, move up to higher ground and revive the heart of democracy. During this inspiring keynote, the Rev. Barber makes an impassioned argument with a message that could not be clearer: It’s time for change and the time needs you.
This program is sponsored by the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues.
