MEDIA CAN REGISTER FOR CREDENTIALS HERE
WHO: The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival and its 40 state coordinating committees, supported by over 170 mobilizing partners, over 20 religious and denominational bodies and a growing Prophetic Council of over 2,500 clerics.
WHAT: The Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls.
WHEN: Saturday, June 18th, 10 am – 3 pm ET
WHERE: 3rd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
WHY: There were 140 million people who were poor or one emergency away from economic ruin before the pandemic. Since March 2020, while hundreds of thousands of people have died, millions are on the edge of hunger and eviction, and still without health care or living wages, billionaire wealth has grown by over $2 trillion.
After low-income people turned out in record numbers in 2020, the needs and concerns of the 140 million are going unaddressed and voter suppression continues unabated.
There are abundant resources to meet our needs, and we march to summon the political will to do so. America must have a moral revolution now. It is time to nonviolently disrupt, protest, shake up and alter the direction of our nation towards love, truth, justice and equal protection under the law.
