Week 4 Albany Non-Violent Moral Direct Action

Start: Monday, June 04, 201811:00 AM

ECOLOGICAL DEVASTATION, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND THE RIGHT TO HEALTH: CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, AND HEALTHCARE FOR ALL

The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is undertaking 40 Days of Action to launch a massive movement to address the evils of poverty, racism, militarism, and ecological devastation. Every week for six weeks all kinds of people across the country will congregate at their state capitals to raise awareness about the unique and common ways they are affected by the evils. Some will participate in civil disobedience to withdraw their consent from a status quo that doesn't prioritize the basic rights and needs of humans.

Fill out this form so that we can ensure you have the proper information and accommodations you may need to get there and participate in the action for week 4.

Buses will be leaving from New York City and Buffalo. Check the city you will leave from to reserve a seat. We will also do our best to coordinate ride sharing from other regions.
