Dear John,
The voices of our movement rang out loud and clear this weekend at the Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington!
More than two and a half million of you from all across the country and around the world viewed the program on Facebook alone, more than 42,000 of you uploaded selfies and stories on our website, and you sent nearly 300,000 letters to our elected officials insisting they implement the policy agenda of the Poor People’s Campaign.
We were covered in the New York Times, CNN, NPR, the Washington Post the Religious News Service and many more!
Momentum is growing. We released the summary of the Poor People's Moral Justice Jubilee Policy Platform, which offers an agenda that can heal the nation and restore our democracy. We’ve also got open house zoom calls hosted by state campaigns coming up later in July where you can learn about the organizing in your state and how to get involved, so stay tuned.
Now is the time, this is the place, and we are the people.
Let’s get to it.
Forward together, not one step back!
Rev. Dr. William Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
