Dear John,
Standing on the shoulders of generations of freedom movements to emerge from the South, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II will join poor and low-income organizers and moral leaders in Jackson, MS on Monday April 19th at 3pm ET/ 12pm PT to make a national announcement of plans for a Mass Poor People’s and Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington.
Mississippi is the birthplace of some of the greatest traditions in music, art, literature and democracy this nation has to offer. And yet for all that Mississippi has produced, it still stands as the poorest state in the nation. There are 1.3 million poor and low-wealth people in the state of Mississippi, including nearly 3 out of 5 children.
