Long before coronavirus hit, medical care in prisons was substandard. Conditions inside and the land many prisons are on is toxic. Many facilities are old, dilapidated and unsanitary...I hear about black mold, brown water and food unfit for consumption. The combination of conditions and prisoners increased susceptibility to chronic illnesses brings us beyond crisis to extreme urgency.

– Shandre Delaney, Pennsylvania (Human Rights Coalition - Fed Up!)

Dear John,

Join us tonight at 8:30pm ET/ 5:30pm PT for the Poverty Amidst Pandemic: Everybody’s Got A Right to Live Digital Mass Meeting to hear from Shandre and other testifiers from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan who will shine a light on the plight, fight and insight of those leading this movement, and how crucial this work is during the double pandemic of COVID-19 and systemic poverty.

They will be joined by PPC Co-Chairs Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II & Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, and Special Guests Philip Alston, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, and Dr. Sharelle Barber of the PPC’s COVID-19 Health Justice Advisory Committee.

Tune in on our Facebook Page and spread the word!

This global pandemic makes our work ever more urgent. We must bring together poor and low-wealth people, religious leaders and advocates to lift up the 140 million people who are being abandoned in the midst of abundance. We must continue to organize at this critical moment to shift the moral narrative, build power and impact elections and policies. Join us!

Forward together,
