Dear John,
On Moral Monday, June 7, states will participate in coordinated and simultaneous press conferences outside over 50 local offices of members of the US House of Representatives to push lawmakers to embrace an agenda for a Third Reconstruction. State leaders will also announce plans to mobilize for the June 21, 2021 National Poor People's Assembly and launch to the Mass Moral March on Washington in June 2022.

Participating states include Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Washington state, West Virginia and Wisconsin, along with Washington, D.C.
This will be a hybrid in-person/online action. You can join us online at 3pm ET/ 12pm PT at 3rdReconstruction.org where representatives from each state will speak.
We demand an end to austerity and ‘trickle down’ economics, and we demand good policy that centers the 140 million poor and low wealth people in this country. Join the chorus of voices on Monday, June 7, to say enough is enough. When we lift from the bottom EVERYBODY rises.
