Labor Day weekend is not just about barbecues and sales, but the workers whose labor built and sustains our nation. From infrastructure to caregiving, retail to sanitation, their contributions are everywhere, yet their compensation and recognition often fall short.

Join us this week as Erica Merchant delivers an abridged version of Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II’s searing moral indictment of systemic poverty, injustice, and political neglect in America. He declares that poor and low-wealth people have suffered far too long—and that silence is no longer an option. Framing poverty as a man-made “structure of sin,” Barber challenges the richest nation in history to confront its “crisis of possibility” and ensure justice, not just charity, for all.
