NAACP North Carolina State President, Rev. William Barber
"They've turned a deaf ear to that. We want them to look the people in the eye – the people who won't get Medicaid, the children who won't get early childhood education - and tell them what they’re doing. "We say, 'If your policy is so good, then look those people in the eye and tell them why you're doing what you're doing.' " 'We' Is the Most Important Word in the Social Justice Vocabulary. The issue is not what we can't do, but what we CAN do when we stand together. With an upsurge in racism/ hate crimes, criminalization of young black males, insensitivity to the poor, educational genocide, and the moral/economic cost of a war, we must STAND together now like never before.'
