"The Bible as a talisman has real political power. But we believe the words inside the book are more powerful. If we unite across lines of race, creed and culture to stand together on the moral vision of love, justice and truth that was proclaimed by Jesus and the prophets, we have the capacity to reclaim the heart of this democracy and work together for a more perfect union. 

"To do that, we need to read the Bible and live it, not wave it for the cameras."

--William J. Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
