The Rev. William Barber, is one of the most important social justice leaders in the country today, who speaks in the moral tradition of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Cornel West and who talk to us about The Moral Foundation of Worker Rights.
Rev. Barber has been prominent on the national stage calling for racial and economic justice: for immigration reform; against police brutality; and for $15 and a union. He has been at the forefront of mighty rallies, marches and engaged in civil disobedience in his home state of North Carolina in the battle against homophobia, the suppression and weakening of the African-American vote, attacks on Medicaid and reproductive rights and recently against the Republicans efforts to legislate a coup that would strip the incoming Democratic Governor of political power.
