Bishop William Barber Endorses Harris, Says Faith Leaders Must Oppose Trump's Hate



"There can be no middle ground, not in this moment." As the U.S. presidential race draws to a close, Bishop William Barber, the national co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, founding director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School and co-author of _White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy_, explains why he is endorsing Kamala Harris for president in his personal capacity. In contrast to Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies that will benefit the rich, Barber says "we see clearly Harris trying to unify." He makes a theological argument for opposing Trump and also discusses voting rights and access in his home state of North Carolina.
