Of course, the irony of Trump’s post about us needing to send a “hospital boat” to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.

Jackson: ‘Leave no one Religious leaders, coal miners, social activists, join forces to focus on Appalachian poverty By KAREN ADLER The Eagle-Gazette Staff NELSONVILLE — Mary Beth DeLaReintrie was laid off from her job at Philips Lighting in Fairmont, W.Va., after she had given the company more than 33 years of her life When she was let go, she was- n't given any benefits. “T lost everything I had,” said. On Sunday, however, she was ecstatic and holding a sign that , “Keep Hope Alive.” she She and hundreds of other members of labor unions, resi- dents of Appalachia and civil and political leaders gathered for a rally on the campus of Hocking College to bring atten- tion to 35 million people just like DeLaReintrie. Leading the rally was the Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose Rainbow PUSH Coalition is fighting to turn national attention to Ap- palachia, America’s poorest and most destitute region. “We're here ioday to change the terms of the national de- THE REV.

All the media and politicians want to talk about is sex and videotapes, Jackson said. Yet the people of Appalachia live in substandard housing and work all day in jobs that don’t provide decent wages and health care benefits. Media and politicians should instead be talking about how to close the gaps between those who live in Appalachia and the rest of America, Jackson said. “We want to close the gaps so that all Americans have a right to the tree of life,” he said. “It’s healing time. It’s hope time,” Jackson said. “Leave no one behind.” Today, national and regional business leaders will partici- pate in an economic roundtable at the college to discuss ways to draw investment capital into the region. Among those who joined Jackson to help him spread his message Sunday were the Rev. LEAVE NO AMERICé A MARCH FOR APP4 Hocking College; September 27, 1998 THE REV.

Singer Willie Nelson was scheduled to perform but had to cancel at the last minute. “We know 40 million Ameri- cans tonight will go to bed with- out health care,” Roberts said. “We demand today health care for all God’s children, That's what this is about.” While Roberts spoke, a man attached to an oxygen tank sat next to him in a wheelchair. Like many of the mine workers in Appalachia, the man had been diagnosed with black lung disease. Funding to help those who suffer from black lung disease was cut by the federal government in the 1980s, Roberts said. By the end of the year, 1,500 people will have died of the disease, he said. “When the Titanic sank, 1,500 rich people died and we made a movie about that,” Roberts said. “My brothers, my sisters, there’s a Titanic going down every year in these hills. It’s time to write about it; it’s time to talk about it,” he said. Ronald Stormer said he was happy help shine a light on Sheen poverty with other members of Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Local 84 from Tole- do. “We've historically been at the bottom of the economic spectrum,” he said of the food service and health care employ- ees who belong to the union. “We understand the struggle.” The rally culminated in a three-mile march to downtown Nelsonville. Jackson told those who marched that they could empower themselves by regis- tering to vote and determine what happened on Election Day. “You are not the poor of Ap- palachia. You are God’s chil- dren,” Jackson said. “Let no- body break your spirit. Stand tall in Appalachia.”

Frech said low jobless rates - often cited as signs of prosperity - mask the problem. Although un- employment is only 4.5 percent in Athens County, Frech said the poverty rate is 32 percent because many residents are “working poor” - people with jobs that pay less than $6 an hour and lack ben- efits. Frech also said reports last week by the U.S. Census Bureau showing the nation’s poverty rate decreased for a fourth straight year in 1997 actually will make it harder to fight poverty. and eastern Ohio.

But he add- ed, “It’s not rising at the same rate as the national average. So what you end up with is a wider gap between the Appalachian economy and the national econo- my, and it would appear that our numbers are getting worse and worse.” Estimates on the number of participants at yesterday's rally and march varied from 2,500 to 5,000 - substantially less than the 10,000 goal set by Jackson during a visit to Athens in April. But while the crowd was small- er than expected, it was diverse in age and color. It included business owners and laborers, coal miners from Ohio, West Virginia and Illi- nois, black lung sufferers from Kentucky and Illinois, and stu- dents from nearby Hocking Col- lege and Ohio University. “I think people need to recog- nize that although there are spots of prosperity within Appalachia, it’s overall very impoverished,” said Catherine Howdyshell of New Lexington, a senior at Ohio Uni- versity. Some of the marchers included Nelsonville residents worried about proposed relocation of U.S. Route 33, the main highway be- tween Athens and Columbus. Although the new highway is expected to improve access to the region, some residents feared that two of the routes proposed by the Ohio Department of Transporta- tion would bypass the town. “We're in favor of an improved highway, but we want access and visibility,” said Fritz Bookman, who marched with his wife, Caro- lyn, and their son, Timothy. The Bookmans, who run a chain of styling salons and a food service at Hocking College, said they liked the focus Jackson brought to the area’s problems. “Our children have to go else- where, because there’s nothing else for them,” Carolyn Bookman said. Jackson gave a nod to the Route 33 issue during his speech by calling on Gov.

At the rally, speakers included Cecil Roberts, president of the United Mine Workers. “Reverend Jackson and I want to talk about more than the White House,” Roberts said. “We want to talk about health care in your house, Social Security in your house. Medicaid and Medicare in your house.” “We demand health care for all God’s children. This is what that’s about,” said Roberts, who received the most applause, after Jackson, at yesterday’s rally. Jackson, in a voice that reso- nated off nearby campus buildings and surrounding hills, urged the crowd to vote for politicians who truly reflect their interests. “If you vote your fears, they will rejoice,” Jackson said. “If you vote your hopes, many of them will be replaced. You have the power to change America’s priori- ties. We're here to change the terms of the national debates.” Several Democratic candidates attended the rally, including U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland, who is facing a re-election challenge from Lt. Gov. Nancy Hollister, and lieuten- ant governor candidate Michael Coleman.

Jackson rallies OU students @ Tour hopes to raise awareness of poverty in Appalachia. BY WENDY HosKINSON FOR THE POST The Rev. Jesse Jackson stepped into a college forum yesterday for an evening of discussions with Ohio University students. Jackson addressed students in the — 1804 Room of Baker Center and again on the West Portico of Templeton- Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium. The reverend said he chose to address students in his “Leave No American Behind” grass- roots campaign because many of them don’t realize the level of poverty in surrounding areas. “In this sense,” he said, “OU is an oasis in this vast mountainous desert of poverty.” Jackson has been touring western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and Ohio in an attempt to raise the nation’s awareness of the problems of Appalachia. The main issues plaguing the region include a lack of adequate health care, a high rate of poverty and low voter turnout, Jackson said. John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO, said he joined Jackson’s campaign because it was the right thing to do. “It’s a fundamental wrong that peo- ple in our society can’t go to the doc- tor because they can’t get health insurance,” he said. A medical condition known as black lung topped the list of Appalachian ills, said Cecil Roberts, president of United Mine Workers. The disease, which is caused by inhal- ing large quantities of coal dust, was not recognized by the medical com- munity until 1969. Only 7 percent of miners who apply for health care ben- efits due to black lung disease actually receive them, Roberts said. “Over 1,500 people die from this disease every year,” he said. “Every six hours, one miner dies from black lung.” Jackson also addressed the myth that all poor people are on welfare. Most of the nation’s poor are working, he said. However, when Congress votes to give tax breaks to the wealthy and freezes the minimum wage for working-class people, “the rich have no roof and the poor: have no floor,” Jackson said. The working class and poor are suffering from these policies, Roberts said. Curis Doane/THE POST The Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke with student leaders yesterday at Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium. “People are working harder, work- ing longer and making less money,” e sai Roberts said more than 100,000 coal miners have lost their jobs in the past 15 years. “There is a fundamental issue of fairness here,” he said. “The wealth that has come out of these hills does- n't stay here, leaving all of us behind.” Jackson stressed the importance of voting when he said his tour will set the pace for the upcoming elections. “We know the people of Appalachia do have the power to get justice, but too many people in these hills are not using their vote,” he said. Roberts said he sees Sunday’s march as a way for people to raise public awareness of their concerns. “Rev. Jackson has given these peo- ple a voice,” he said. “The rally is a chance for people to stand up and say ‘This is not right’.” Jackson said the march will be an- attempt to get the nation’s attention and to set priorities. “We are blazing a trail — others will follow the path,” he said. “We chal- lenge our national leadership. Let’s re- invest in America and leave no American behind.” A rally will be held Sunday on the campus of Hocking College in Nelsonville. In addition to Jackson, Sweeney and Roberts, Jerry Falwell and Martin Sheen are scheduled to appear. The program will begin at noon, with singer Willie Nelson performing at 12:30 p.m. Speeches will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. and the march through Nelsonville will start at 3:30 p.m.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a regular presence in my life when I was in college, because of his major campaign against Appalachian poverty at the time. He was bringing people like Martin Sheen and Willie Nelson to southeast Ohio and marching alongside Jerry Falwell and union leaders (in the same march!)

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.

He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.

I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.

May his memory be a blessing.

RIP to Jesse Jackson, who in this debate w/David Duke in 1977 delivered (until the host cut him off) a message of unity and against "national isolationism" that's important to hear today. He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"

Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988 set out the blueprint for a multiracial populist campaign for president.

@jamellebouie.net's piece from 2016 shows how Jackson's legacy could prevail with someone like AOC in 2028 or 2032.

He'll be missed, but his ideas will live on.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson. May we carry his work forward.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
