Words can’t express my gratitude for your strong response to my news last week. Thank you to everyone that became a Founding Donor to Groundwork Project. Your contributions are already being put to work to build our team and strengthen our relationships with like-minded organizations nationwide.

This week, I also announced that I’m joining the Poor People’s Campaign as a Special Advisor. I also had the honor of joining Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis for the relaunch of PPC’s Moral Mondays, where we urged Congress to act immediately and raise the minimum wage.

Check out this footage from the event:

The PPC and its allies have fought for decades to keep anti-poverty work at the heart of our political debates. From West Virginia to New York City to Montana, they have set the bar when it comes to using community organizing to bring poor and low-income Americans to the table, especially through their M.O.R.E program -- Move, Organize, Register and Educate.

I’m proud to join a group that reflects so many of the same values and priorities we have here at Groundwork. Thank you, again, for your support. I can’t wait to share more exciting work with you in the weeks and months ahead.

Thanks,

Joe
