IL Poor People's Campaign Action | Somebody's Hurting Our People

Start: Monday, May 14, 2018 2:00 PM

Illinois is one of over 30 states across the country and in Washington, DC heading to their state capitals on May 14th to force a serious national examination of the enmeshed evils of systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation and the war economy.

This is the first of six weeks of nonviolent moral fusion direct action across the country to show our elected leaders we will no longer allow attention violence to keep poor and disenfranchised people down.

Join us in Springfield, IL at 2:00 p.m. for a Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival rally and demonstration. The first week's theme is "Somebody's Hurting Our People: Child poverty, Women, and People with Disabilities."

If you are interested in engaging in nonviolent direct action as part of the demonstration, you are encouraged to participate in an online webinar training on Wed, May 9th at 7:00pm. Click here to register. There will be a mandatory training on the morning of May 14th near the rally location. More info will be posted soon.

You do NOT have to risk arrest to attend this event.
