Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

ICYMI yesterday's announcement, the Poor People's Campaign is holding a Mass Poor People's Assembly and Moral March on Washington on June 20th; every day leading up to that day of action, we'll be featuring real stories of struggle and poverty to raise awareness and make the subject a priority. That's what you'll find at the top of the episode, and today's speaker is Antoine, a 23-year-old fast food worker who only makes $7.25 an hour. The rest of today's episode is also about numbers, but of a different kind. Mark talks about Civiqs and polling quite a bit with founder Markos Moulitsas, but today we've brought in the organization's Director, Drew Linzer, to dive deeper. Civiqs has polled opinions towards the Black Lives Matter movement on a daily basis since 2017, and right now in the United States, it is the most favorably viewed political organization or politician among any national organization--including Trump and the former favorite, Barack Obama.
