Today on Sojourner Truth, Part 2 of our Poor People's Campaign on the Third Reconstruction.

On Monday, June 21, thousands of poor people, low-wage workers, campaigners and faith leaders from across the United States gathered online for a mass assembly organized by the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. The assembly, which simultaneously featured a socially-distanced rally in North Carolina, called for the realization of the Third Reconstruction. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century.

The Poor Peoples Campaign describes the Third Reconstruction as a revival of the country's constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the country's 140 million poor are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation.

During today's program, you will hear more speeches, testimony and music from the historic event, which was led by Poor Peoples Campaign co-chairs Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

Members of Congress have introduced a non-partisan resolution entitled, A Third Reconstruction: It's Time to Fully Address Poverty and Low Wages from the Bottom Up. Inspired by decades of fierce campaigning, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects a progressive vision for a fundamental restructuring of society. The resolution points out that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction, U.S. society must deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty.

Furthermore, the assembly kicked off a one-year campaign dedicated to building a mass Moral March on Washington and Poor Peoples & Low-Wage Workers Assembly on June 18, 2022. The hybrid online and in-person mass assembly included over 40 state coordinating committees, over 200 organizing partners, and thousands of faith leaders. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you exclusive audio from that assembly. During todays program, you will hear speeches, testimony and music from the historic event, which was led by Poor Peoples Campaign co-chairs Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our panelists are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg and Dr. Gerald Horne.

Juneteenth is now a national holiday. A step forward, many say. But is it also an opportunity for Republicans who voted for it to hide their ongoing attempts to chip away at the hard-fought rights of Black people. What about the attempts to suppress and in some cases criminalize the teaching of Black and Brown history in schools and universities across the United States?

Battles continue in Washington, D.C. around the right to vote. The For the People Act is in some trouble, as well as the George Floyd police reform bill. What happened after so-named Emancipation, including the First Reconstruction and its destruction? Is a Third Reconstruction needed?

The Supreme Court has made some controversial rulings and the much-anticipated Putin-Biden summit is over. Our panelists give their thoughts on what came out of it, as well as what came out of the G7 meetings and their wider implications.

Also, the latest on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as well as recent elections in Chile and Peru.
