Episode One features the esteemed faith leader and activist, Rev. Dr. Charles Boyer. Rev. Boyer is an outspoken faith leader calling for the abolition of the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, school segregation and youth detention centers. Most recently, he has joined the coalition of leaders who’ve created the “94% campaign.” Ninety-four percent of black voters cast their ballots for Governor Phil Murphy in 2017. But nine+ months into his administration, black leaders feel that Governor Murphy has not focused enough on critical issues facing the 94%. Listen to Episode One to hear about the 94% Campaign, their efforts to connect with Governor Phil Murphy and their plans to “hold his feet to the fire,” and the upcoming “Rally for the 94%” scheduled for Saturday, October 27th, 2018 at the Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church at 231-251 Seymour Avenue in Newark, NJ at 12 noon. The Reverend calls on each of us to speak truth to power and to lift up poor, underserved and traditionally oppressed communities.
