This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Let’s start this new year of action together The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival
As we enter 2019, Repairers of the Breach, the Kairos Center and the North Carolina Poor People’s Campaign invite you to a national Watch Night Service tomorrow, New Year's Eve. We will bring together people of faith and conscience and recommit ourselves to the fight against systemic racism, poverty, the war economy and ecological devastation.
The first Watch Night Service took place in 1862 when both enslaved and free Black people came together in churches and homes across the nation while they waited for the news of the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation—an act of bravery and hope that helped the United States move forward.
More than 150 years later, we must continue this tradition with all those who, despite the challenges that arise every day, believe and are working towards a more just and equitable society today.
Tune into this year’s Watch Night Service in Raleigh, NC, to hear directly from Rev. Dr. Barber, Rev. Dr. Theoharis and those impacted by our nation’s distorted moral narrative and experience powerful music that will inspire the heart. Watch the event here >>
Want to join us at the event? You can sign up to attend here >>
Let us move into 2019 with our sights set on the America that is yet to be.
Forward together, not one step back,
