For Covid 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 country as they too deliver the Poor People’s Campaign 14 Policy Priorities to legislative leaders and governor at their state capitals. Together we are bringing attention to the impact of policies that promote systemic racism, poverty and inequality, the war economy and militarism, environmental devastation, and the corrupt moral narrative.
