NOTE: ROCHESTER BUS IS CURRENTLY FULL, BUT YOU CAN STILL RSVP TO BE ADDED TO THE WAIT LIST.

For weeks, we have joined with thousands of people across the country taking to the streets and to our state capitols, with hundreds of people even risking arrest, to demand policies that lift up the poor in this country. This season of nonviolent moral action is culminating on Saturday, June 23rd with a mass mobilization in Washington, DC.

Here are the details:

• Date: Saturday, June 23

• Time: 10am

• Location: National Mall by Jefferson Drive SW and 7th st. SW, Washington, D.C.

Fifty years ago, members of the first Poor People’s Campaign made their voices heard by camping out in Resurrection City, a tent city on the Washington Mall where thousands of poor people from across the United States gathered to demand that the nation “lift the load of poverty.”

But it’s been fifty years, and there are 60% more people living under the poverty line than in 1968, the Voting Rights Act has been dismantled, and children in our poorest cities aren’t even guaranteed clean water or sewage treatment.

We need your help moving this country forward by seizing the nation’s attention this June. Together, we will pack the National Mall on June 23 and demonstrate unprecedented grassroots strength.
