Please join us in January to kick off a season of direct action including moral assemblies at state capitols across the country, imploring our elected leaders to support an agenda that tackles poverty and other systemic injustices because there are policy solutions to all of these problems. The Third Reconstruction we are building towards is a revival of our constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the 140 million poor and low-income people in the country are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation.
Hold the date for the DC Mass Poor and Low Income People’s Assembly on Saturday, March 2 Sign up now to let us know you're coming and for updates.
Forward Together, Not One Step Back!
