Jesse Jackson could do something most politicians can't even imagine.

He got conservative dirt farmers and inner-city families fighting the same enemy: corporate profiteers running roughshod over us all.

That's not (just) oratory. That's vision. And it's exactly what we need right now.

After hearing of Reverend Jackson's passing this morning, I've decided to reshare my review for a fairly recent book that does a deep dive into his life and his two presidential campaigns #BookThreads #BookSky #JesseJackson #ADreamDeferred #PresidentialCampaign #RainbowCoalition

Remembering my hero The Rev. Jessie Jackson, Jr. RIP. I had the privilege of being co-chair of his OC, Calif. 1984 campaign for president, and the chief strategist of his 1988 run in the OC. We had a pretty good showing in 88 when the ‘Rainbow Coalition’ was really going strong. We marched through barrios and ghettos, then stacked the county Democratic Convention, bussed in supporters, and came in 2nd in a crowded field of 8 in the straw poll. That was the next day’s headline. I took great pleasure in shaking up the staid, old-boy Democratic hierarchy. Jackson was, even then, a staunch supporter of Palestinian rights, which fit so well with his championing of the downtrodden and abused. I represented his campaign in a speech at the local Majlis - which served as OC’s mosque. #JessieJackson #BLM #RainbowCoalition #politics

Hampton’s Rainbow Coalition shattered US racial divides, proving what the system fears most: when poor Blacks, whites, and Latinos recognize the common enemy, they’re unstoppable. #fredhampton #blackhistorymonth #rainbowcoalition

Been doing the work and fighting for equality for decades, and have the receipts. I’ve found that struggling for social justice is a lifelong commitment, and there are no quick fixes. Resistance comes from many corners; political, corporate, white culture, now even education. The established and entrenched elites like the way things work now, regardless of consequences for the rest of us and the planet. I’m pleased (and relieved) to see an army of Gen X, Y, Z and beyond rising to the occasion, already carrying the torch. New generations of #SocialJustice warriors taking the fight to the fascists. I’d encourage younger warriors to keep fighting regardless of setbacks, frustration and significant headwinds. We WILL win in the end. Here’s a bit of my personal history with the movement. #BLM #BlackMastodon #HumanRights #RainbowCoalition #politics #PoliticalStruggle #CivilRights #CivilRightsMovement
