Revive Us Again: Vision and Action in Moral Organizing

Revive Us Again: Vision and Action in Moral Organizing

A collection of sermons and speeches that lay out a groundbreaking vision for intersectional organizing, paired with inspirational and practical essays from activists in todayâ€™s Poor Peopleâ€™s Campaign

The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II has been called â€œthe closest person we have to Martin Luther King Jr. in our midstâ€ (Cornel West) and â€œone of the most gifted organizers and orators in the country todayâ€ (Ari Berman). In this age of political division and civic unrest, Rev. Barberâ€™s message is more necessary than ever. This volume features Rev. Barberâ€™s most stirring sermons and speeches, with response essays by prominent public intellectuals, activists, and faith leaders. Drawing from the history of social movements in the US, especially the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.â€™s Poor Peopleâ€™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 womenâ€™s rights, and the movement to overcome poverty and unite the dispossessed across all dividing lines. Grounded in the fundamental biblical theme of poor and oppressed people taking action together, the book suggests ways to effectively build a fusion movement to make America fair and just for everyone.
