Rev. William Barber: Poor & Low-Wage Americans Are the Real 2024 Swing Voters

Rev. Dr. William Barber II argues that the issue of poverty in America is often marginalized as a Black issue, ignoring the plight of millions of impoverished white people. In his new book, the esteemed civil rights campaigner aims to expose myths about race and class that are undermining American democracy. He discusses the causes of poverty, and the policies that are needed to address it.
