Are you a Wisconsinite that is new to the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival? Did you watch our Digital March on June 20th, 2020 and were inspired and called to action? Have you heard about us in another way and want to know how you can be involved? Or have you been involved before and want to be involved again?
Join us on Wednesday, July 1st, for a statewide Virtual Open House to get connected and help build this movement that fights to end the five interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy and militarism, ecological devastation, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. Following our hour long Open House, you are invited to stay on the Zoom call for our statewide meeting from 7:30-8:30PM CST.
This event will be held via Zoom. Those who RSVP will be sent the login information on July 1st. This meeting will also be recorded and sent to everyone who registered.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact wisconsin@poorpeoplescampaign.org.
And don't forget to spread the word!
ABOUT THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN: A NATIONAL CALL FOR MORAL REVIVAL
In 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a “revolution of values” in America. They sought to build a broad, fusion movement that could unite poor and impacted communities across the country. Their name was a direct cry from the underside of history: The Poor People’s Campaign.
Today, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this unfinished work. From Alaska to Arkansas, the Bronx to the border, people are coming together to confront the interlocking evils of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. We understand that as a nation we are at a critical juncture — that we need a movement that will shift the moral narrative, impact policies and elections at every level of government, and build lasting power for poor and impacted people.
