Long Island Rallies for a Third Reconstruction!

Start: Monday, June 07, 202112:00 PM

End: Monday, June 07, 2021 1:00 PM

Join the NYS Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival on Monday, June 7th for news conferences and rallies across the state to demand a Third Reconstruction in America!

On Monday, June 7th committees in more than 40 states will hold simultaneous actions at the offices of members of the US House of Representatives to demand that all of our representatives embrace the Third Reconstruction Resolution. Here on Long Island we will hold a rally and press conference at 12:00 noon outside Rep. Tom Suozzi’s office at 478a Park Avenue in Huntington to present a copy of the Resolution to Rep. Suozzi and demand that he support it and actively work to gain support from his fellow members of Congress.

Drawing on the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights struggles of the 20th century, today we need a Third Reconstruction to revive our moral and political commitments to democracy and the founding principles of the country. With this resolution, we

(1) acknowledge the deep harms we have suffered from systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the false narrative of white supremacist nationalist extremism and

(2) commit to heal and transform the nation by addressing these interlocking injustices, beginning with those most impacted, with moral and just laws and policies.

Date: June 7, 2021

Time: 12:00 PM ET

Long Island PPC Location: Representative Tom Suozzi's Office in Huntington, NY (478a Park Avenue)

For COVID-19 safety we are asking that all participants wear double masks and remain at least 8ft apart at all times. If you are feeling at all ill, even the slightest of symptoms we ask that you stay at home and watch this program online.

We stand united with folks across the state and country as they too call on their US Representatives to sign-on to our Third Reconstruction Resolution.

Join us June 7th!
