There is only one thing that can change this balance of power: an organized, powerful community of poor and working people emerging in unison through their own vision and political independence as a national force. There are many regional illustrations. Take, for example, the Moral Monday marches that are calling for a new economic and democratic bill of rights across North Carolina, or fast-food workers who are organizing for the right to $15 an hour and a union. Here at home, progressive and working-class forces have begun to collaborate and build power through Progressive Philly Rising; and next summer, Philadelphia will be a central site of the United States Social Forum. While these examples are piecemeal, as they grow in number and stature we can imagine how they could be knit together to make an impressive tapestry, which acts as a prophecy for a more-just nation.
