Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. - Proverbs 31: 8-9

Beloved Community,

We know that this unfolding public health crisis results from a deeper, much longer-term crisis — that of poverty and inequality and of a society that despises the poor and ignores the needs of 140 million poor and low-income people.

In times such as these it is all the more important to enact the demands of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival if we want to fully address this crisis.

Sign the petition calling for President Trump, Vice-President Pence and all Members of 116th Congress to fulfill their moral and constitutional responsibilities to the American people by expanding emergency provisions and enacting our Moral Agenda.

And please join us tonight for a Live Conversation with the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival and MoveOn.org about the Moral Response to the dual crises of Pandemic and Poverty. Click here to tune in or see us on Facebook.

We were made for these times – we must not shrink back!

Forward together,

Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival
