The Bus Tour will energize and rally the progressive people of faith against a government that pursues war instead of peace, abandons a stewardship of the environment and repudiates economic justice for the poor, while creating a group of local interfaith leaders who will develop an ongoing local progressive religious presence in politically important states.
Possible and invited speakers include: Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Senator Barack Obama, U.S. Representative Maxine Waters, Lexington Mayor Theresa Isaac, Kentucky State Representative Kathy Stein, Dr. Glenn Hinson, and Cleveland Mayor Jane Campbell.
