It was work on by the Sister Marian Wright Edelman too. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. courageous fought for the Poor People Campaign as a means to fight poverty and create revolutionary social change in America. We need economic empowerment and self determination, but we should also need a radical redistribution of economic and political power as the late Brother Dr. King said. There can be no true equality and freedom without economic justice. It is as simple as that. Everyday, I think about the poor and the oppressed. Every single day of my life, I will always fight against poverty and I will fight for human justice.

I was encouraged by Rachel Maddow’s report last night that there is a new focus for the Occupy movement on home foreclosures.
