If you want to know where Walking Man I'll be 7/8

f you want to know where I'll be standing on July 8, 2016?
I will be standing shoulder to shoulder with the Just at the Lincoln Memorial,
Standing tall with my Just brothers and sisters.
I will be standing with my America's men and women of justice, because Cesar Chavez my labor hero and my courage called me to Manhood long, long ago. He said "I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness, is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men!"
You don't need to ask me if I'm tired of marching,
You don't have to ask if I'll be too tired to walk,
You don't have to ask if the DC summer heat will stop me,
You don't need to ask if the 8-hour ride will exhaust me,
You don't need to wonder if my feet won't march,
You don't need to ask me if I am too busy to rally,
You don't need if I can't learn from my fellow marchers,
You don't need to ask if my heart is in it,
You only need to know Justice is calling us to be men and women of justice,
Silence and apathy of the masses cannot keep me away.
I am calling out every Just teacher, every Just student, and Just parent within driving distance to stand with the just in DC on July 8, 2016.
There is no need to ask whose side I am on,
You don't have to ask what if no one shows up,
Did you need to ask Rosa Parks what if no one cared,
Did you need to ask if Martin minded being alone in that Birmingham cell?
All you need to know is one man walking in the name of love for public education and social justice matters to his heroes.
All I need to know is my feet will carry me on the wings of justice at the Peoples March for Public education and Social Justice.
The only thing I am wondering is where will you be?

Just some love people

This is what I live for. Seeing the empathy, love and humanity shine on the face of the teachers and children I work with in America or Jamaica.
I love them all.
This is my lottery,
My heaven on earth,
Where Ed Reformers, politicians, and hedge fund manager, and Wall Street see test scores and profits,
I see the child not the score,
I see humanity in teaching and learning.

While they measure proficiency,
While they check their data walls,
While they count:
Campaign contributions,
Private jet junkets,
Eat their expensive paid for lunches,
And sip their expensive paid for wine.

I count smiles,
I celebrate small learning victories,
I see love and respect growing between teachers and children.

I see the child not the score.
Trust me it makes all the difference.
I rather be next to my teachers and children than with Kings and Queens.
These are my people,
This is heaven,
See the child not the score,
Jesse The Walkingman Turner

Rich keep getting richer...it's all good on Wall Street

In Isaiah 58:10 it is written "If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday." The end of the middle class is when people can't see the bigger picture of an economy that keeps growing more poor people. There can be is no justice with out economic justice. You can fool yourself on this right into the poor house people.

So you tell us Wall Street is flying high,
Billionaires are buying the White House,
Trust them it's all good.
All they need is a few more tax breaks for the wealthy.

More than 30 million children are growing up in poverty.
Nearly 50 million Americans live in poverty. that is 13 million higher than in 2007.
The number one cause for bankruptcy is medical catastrophe.

Money is free speech,

Corporations are people, 

States are doing all they can to suppress voting,
Trust them it's all good for the best government money can buy.

Trust them it's all good on Wall Street!

Cutting public school budgets in all 50 states.
Yeah it's all good for Wall Street and the best government money can buy.
The Kardashians are proof it's all good.
Go to school, play by the golden rule, and leave with a degree and a lifetime of debt.
Trust me it's all good for Big Banks.

Trust me on this: I don't have to wonder what God thinks of the richest nation in the world where it's all good while 50 million of it's people live in poverty.
Momma taught me well:
Deuteronomy 15 "You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. ...I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’

Trust me it's not all good in God's eyes!

I am my brother's keeper, and he is my keeper,

Silence and apathy are not acceptable when poverty, injustice and inequity become your nation's greatest gross national products,

So I am going to the Peoples March for Public Education and Social Justice,

I am a Grand Marshal for the Peoples March.

Come join me at the Lincoln Memorial on 7/8?

Trust me God does not bless the silent and the apathetic,
