Join the South Carolina Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival on March 2nd at 11am as we march and rally bringing the demands of poor and low-wealth people for living wages, healthcare, housing, education, environmental justice, and voting rights directly to our lawmakers. Together we are taking back the mic! Raising our voices! And registering our voices as our demands!

We cannot slide quietly into the dark! That’s why South Carolina is joining states across the nation who will be holding simultaneous assemblies and marches at their state capitals. We are going to raise our voices and to make our votes demands. We are going to Columbia to deliver a moral indictment of the cynical priorities and immoral policies of the leadership of the South Carolina Legislature. Our state capitals are not just symbolic; they are the policy hubs whose decisions directly impact people facing systemic poverty and the interlocking injustices. Join with us, poor people, clergy and faith leaders, and advocates in building an action that will send a message to the legislators responsible for the unrelenting policy violence against the 2 million poor and low-income people in our state that we won’t be silent anymore.

Across the nation, poor people make up 30% of the electorate, here in South Carolina, there are 1.7 million poor and low-income eligible voters. This is the power of the sleeping giant! Organizing and mobilizing poor and low-income voters means that we can build the South Carolina we believe in! It’s time for us to take back the mic from those who want to talk about everything else but the death-sentence of poverty in these yet to be United States. That’s why we are mobilizing around the issues that impact our communities most. If you believe in freedom, if you believe in living wages, healthcare, voting rights and stopping voter suppression, equal rights for all, worker and labor rights, environmental justice, access to housing, fully-funded public education, abolishing poverty, and the unity of love not the division of hate, join us on March 2nd, 2024 at 11am in Columbia!

We will meet at the African American History monument located on the east side of the State House (Sumter St side).
