Yesterday 10s of 1000s marched in DC

[AntivaxHunters]

Yesterday 10s of 1000s marched in DC.

People from all walks of life, identities, and ideologies marched in solidarity for poor & working class people.
Democrats. Independents. Greens. Socialists. Communists.
All ages. All income levels. All ethnicities. Together.

This was the march organized by the Poor People's Campaign, a movement which MLK himself began and one which Rev. Dr. William Barber is now the head of. While it trended nearly all day long on Twitter under the hashtag #MoralAssembly2022 the MSM hasn't so much said a peep about this. Leftist media however is a different story & has been covering it extensively. Ask yourself why that is? Because MSM is a Capitalist institution & the antithesis of a movement based in social justice.

Below are several tweets, several with videos, which cover the march, demonstration, & festivities.
It's absolutely beautiful to see so many different people come together in solidarity over common causes like poverty, climate, wages, healthcare, and student loan debt, amongst many other things.

1. extremely revealing

of the people slowly being relegated to being only able TO SERVE and vote for the rich and powerful. Not the other way around as it should be in OUR democracy...the rich and powerful politicians serving the people. There is not even a pretence of that in the Republikklkan Party today at all.

It's all about money and the power to keep the thousands in line by starving, beating and killing US.

2. Well said

[CrispyQ]

3. Thanks for posting.

This is the first I've heard of this march.

Fuck the MSM. ~insert flip-the-bird emoji here

[Farmer-Rick]

16. Exactly

Why isn't this all over corporate media?

Because they are afraid of us. Can't let anyone know we are protesting our abuse.

5. During the reign of Bush the Lesser...

I participated in a march of about 300,000. It only made the news locally in DC as an inconvenience to traffic. No MSM at all that I could find.

8. Was that the anti war march

on January 18, 2003? If so, I was there. I remember that it was ignored by the corporate MSM who were all sounding the drums of war in support of Bush/Cheney.

The few that gave a few sentences of coverage counted the numbers as "tens of thousands."

I spoke to a DC cop who was assigned to monitor the marchers. Asked him for an estimate, in his experience, of the size of the crowd. He was reluctant to answer since no one gives out official statements on crowd sizes any more. But eventually he said it looked like 300,000 or 400,000 to him.

11. I participated in the Sept. 24, 2005, protest and march which had 300,000 in attendance.

22. Me too.

That was the only time I've ever been to DC and it was really exciting.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. Yeah, my Mom, my sister, my daughter and my wife went to a pro choice protest

Years ago. It was huge, I think the estimates were easily 200,000 to 300,000. But only one media outlet carried it.

When the next month the forced birthers marched with barely 28,000 the event was on every channel and news program.

This is how they hide what Americans really want.

7. KNR Thank you so much for posting. First I heard of this.

[wnylib]

9. Same here.

[Alice Kramden]

10. K&R for exposure n/t

[appalachiablue]

12. Major mass event by the people, thanks. Yesterday I saw

some coverage on the FSTV station and searched YouTube for videos but found nada.

[NBachers]

13. And they didn't even charge down and commit violence against the Capitol.

14. Inevitable

When the poor are exploited by the rich capitalists with no morals or government regulation it ends in revolution.

Republicans are just lucky these people are peaceful and not desperate.

They better listen now, or the future they envision of a better America will include them in jail and a higher tax rate in America.

You think the scientists and mathematicians working to send someone to the moon paid low wages? No, having a job in the space program was high paid. Government jobs weren’t attractive by greedy business people like now.

Instead, we lower tax rates and essentially pay private citizens to compete in their own space program and gee-whiz landing rockets—something envisioned by every science fiction movie since the 1930s. Big fucking deal.

Raise taxes.

[Farmer-Rick]

19. JFK said it

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

15. The Rev. Dr. Barber used to be interviewed on msnbc ALL THE TIME

I can't even remember the last time I saw him being interviewed. He is such a good, smart man. I follow him on twitter so I knew about the march but I had forgotten about it because it simply wasn't covered.

Shameful.

[Farmer-Rick]

18. He is an amazing speaker

His speeches are rousing. I'm surprised he's not on every show, since he is so moving. What a master of public speaking.

[Novara]

20. He really is so stirring to listen to

I'm an atheist and I follow him on twitter because he is such a good speaker and such a good man. I don't know why msnbc doesn't make time for him anymore. I mean, they repeat the same shit over and over and over again; seems like they could fit him in once in a while.
