The Poor People's Campaign was a march on Washington D.C. to gain economic justice for poor people in the United States that began on this day in 1968, just one month after the assassination of one of its key organizers, MLK Jr.
The protest was also organized by Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and carried out under the leadership of Ralph Abernathy in the wake of King's assassination.
After presenting an organized set of demands to Congress and executive agencies, participants set up a 3,000-person protest camp on the Washington Mall, where they stayed for six weeks in the spring of 1968.
Among those demands was a proposal for an "economic bill of rights" that included a commitment to full employment, a guaranteed annual income measure, and more low-income housing for poor Americans of all races.
"I think it is necessary for us to realize that we have moved from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights…
When we see that there must be a radical redistribution of economic and political power, then we see that for the last twelve years we have been in a reform movement…
That after Selma and the Voting Rights Bill, we moved into a new era, which must be an era of revolution…"

I don't remember the numbers when I tested it, but I didn't remember it being enough for me to warrant turning it off. All batteries die eventually.
I don't trust the built in battery estimators. But I like the app accubattery for keeping an eye on this stuff and overall battery health. It tells me how much % per hour it drains with screen on and off. Breaks it down by app, and shows me how many cycles I charge. I think I even paid for the pro upgrade.
I just got the battery charge limit thing, so I'll likely be using that too.
I feel you though. I miss my old Oneplus 2 which had screws. I changed the battery twice and the screen twice too. But it eventually just couldn't deal with stuff anymore and I got a new one. I wish OEM's were forced to sell replacement parts for 5++ years for these things. The third party batteries I've had weren't as good.
I also wish Android phones had an equivalent of installing Linux on a laptop with an unsupported version of Windows to keep them alive
If you unlock your bootloader, they kind of do. I ran a custom Rom on my Oneplus 2 for years after official support ended. Had to use something to get banking apps to work, but it's possible. Still stuck with google tho
That process feels much more like hacking a Wii or PS3 than simply installing Linux on a PC though
Yeah it's not quite as simple
