Dear John,
In the grief and righteous outrage of this moment we are feeling the birth pains of a movement. Every attack on our people must now embolden our agitation.
This is why in just one week we are gathering virtually for the Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington. Have you pledged to join?
In anticipation of June 20, we've launched new features on the June 20 webpage. Be sure to check it out and share with others. Check it out at june2020.org |
