Dear John,

We celebrate March 2nd's massive, historic display of our collective power as a movement, marching in 32+ states and Washington D.C. mourning the 800 people a day who die from poverty in the United States.

Now, it’s time to focus on what’s next. In the words of Rev Barber, Rev Theoharis and the National Poor People’s Campaign Team:

In our campaign across the country, poor and low-wage people and allies have declared that we are not accepting the silence from the media and political establishment that ignores 800 daily deaths of poor and low-wealth people. We are a resurrection, not an insurrection. We are building a Third Reconstruction democracy that guarantees civil rights and human rights to all.

We now begin a 40-week campaign, waking the sleeping giant, to organize and mobilize 15 million poor and low-wage infrequent voters around an agenda that can save lives. This is only the beginning, we are just getting started. We won’t be silent anymore, join us.

Join the DC Campaign!

Our next monthly meetings (by Zoom) are on April 25th and May 23rd.

Hold this Date: We recently got word that Rev. Barber will be in DC on Monday, April 22. The Campaign is holding a DMV mobilization meeting that evening. Rev Barcer is also speaking at a rally outside the Supreme Court organized by National Homelessness Law Center during the day.

We'll send more details and a sign-up for the mobilization rally soon.

Thank you to everyone for making DC’s March 2nd launch of 40 weeks of actions a success. Here are some photos from our March 2nd assembly and march to the Wilson Building.

Take a look at the March 2nd events in states around the country.

Forward together. Not one step back.

Liz McNichol, Zillah Wesley II, Rev Christopher Zacharias
