Today on Sojourner Truth:
On Friday, September 20, the world witnessed its largest ever climate strike, led by youth, with an estimated four million people participating on all seven continents. Yes, even Antarctica. Today, a round up of the youth-led global climate strike. This, as Donald Trump is at the United Nations today. He continues to deny climate change and also sent out a tweet making fun of Greta Thunberg, the Swedish student who is credited with raising global awareness about the risks posed by climate change and holding politicians accountable for their lack of action.
Also, we're excited to be joined by Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, a joint coordinator along with Rev. Dr. William J. Barber of the Poor People's Campaign, a National Call for Moral Revival. The Campaign, which was first started by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. just months before his assassination, has been revived and has a base across 40 U.S. states. The campaign is challenging what it calls the five pillars of evil: poverty, racism, the war economy, environmental devastation and the nation's distorted moral narrative.
