We don't have to choose BETWEEN addressing voter suppression or being more progressive on economics.

[Ken Burch]

32. What I favor is justice...for those who face injustice(s) and for all who need change from below.

The economic justice movement is staunchly against institutional racism and police violence-many of its members have marched with BLM across the country. Many(and this is the movement, not any particular campaign) ARE people of color, LGBTQ people, women.

People thrown out of work by corporate greed are victims of a kind of oppression too...not the same as fear of police violence, not the same as what institutions do to people of color, but oppression in its way as well...sometimes they die...sometimes people who are victims of economic oppression are victims of institutional racism and police violence. too.

The narrative in the primaries was that we had to choose which justice struggle to center-we didn't, they need to be, essentially DUAL centered...and that is the way to proceed.

And contrary to the great misstatement of the primaries, nobody, even the handful who said economic justice should be privileged over social justice-EVER argued that the establishment of economic justice, in and of itself, would wipe out all other forms of injustice. What was said was it needs to happen IF social injustice is to be wiped out. That's an entirely different concept.

My point is that we need to be past that, to admit that our fight should be for justice for the many.
