Bishop William J. Barber II brought fire and scripture to Charlotte — calling voter suppression a moral crisis, not just a political one.

📖 Preaching at First Baptist Church-West, Barber called gerrymandering a "racist scheme" engineered to blunt the growing clout of Black and brown voters.

🗳️ "Your vote is something God gave you" — and anyone trying to take it, he said, is committing a sin against God's image.

⚖️ He urged civil rights leaders to "repent" for staying quiet while the Supreme Court chipped away at the Voting Rights Act since 2013.

📣 His midterm message: skip the D.C. marches. Put money on the ground in local communities "so that people can march to the polls."
