If you support voter suppression, if you use code words like 'entitlements,' you support white supremacy... #poorpeoplescampaign

If you support warmongering, attacking Jewish people, LGBTQ community, labor rights, that's white supremacy... #poorpeoplescampaign

Violence is more than killing-starving a child, denying people's humanity, an apathetic attitude-these are violence. #poorpeoplescampaign

Who wants to breakthrough the violence with non-Violence? #PoorPeoplesCampaign #topeka
