Greenville Truth and Poverty Tour
Start: Thursday, May 02, 2019•11:30 AM
Join us as we build the Poor People's Campaign movement here in Greenville, and shine a light on the plight, fight, and insight of the poor here in our community. Throughout the day we'll hear from community members about the REAL national emergencies that require immediate attention. They will break through the narrative about who is hurt by systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, and the war economy/militarism and show that we are coming together and organizing against the conditions that impact us most.
The schedule for the day is below, please RSVP and let us know where you will join us so we can get an accurate count for food, seating, and transportation.

2:30 We will gather at Annie’s House, 60 Baxter Street, where we'll hear testimonies from Nicholtown and wider Greenville residents on the issues impacting their community including poverty, systemic racism, immigration, affordable housing, gentrification, and voter suppression.
