On June 18th, the Poor People's Campaign will be holding a rally on Washington DC. This has been organized by Rev William Barber II, who stepped down from the NAACP in 2017 to revitalize the Poor People's Campaign that MLK Jr. so wonderfully fought for in his time.
Here is the tweet video where Rev William Barber II announces the June 18th meeting for poor people & low wage workers.
Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls
The June 18, 2022 Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls will be a generationally transformative and disruptive gathering of poor and low-wealth people, state leaders, faith communities, moral allies, unions and partnering organizations.
It is NOT just a day of action. It is a declaration of an ongoing, committed moral movement to 1) Shift the moral narrative; 2) Build power; and 3) Make real policies to fully address poverty and low wealth from the bottom up.
