Dear John,

Monday's caravans and massive call-in was powerful! More than 150,000 people participated in the sixth Moral Monday March on McConnell, in caravans that circled Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s six offices in Kentucky and his home in Washington, D.C. or tuning in online for live reports and flooding his phone lines until every office's voice mails were full.

The 140 million (and growing) poor and low-income people in this country are a force to be reckoned with. We will be heard, and we will create the political and economic transformation we so desperately need, this election season, and far beyond. Take a look at the upcoming actions you can take to continue to build this movement.

A Mandate for the Moment in this Movement

As the nation mourns more than 200,000 deaths from Covid-19, attacks on voting rights and our democracy, the failure to pass a fair and just relief package, and the stacking of the Supreme Court, the co-chairs of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will address the nation on Thursday September 24th at 4:30pm ET / 1:30pm PT. Tune in at poorpeoplescampaign.org/livestream or on Facebook.
