Dear John,

We started our Moral March on West Virginia at Harper’s Ferry on Tuesday, and this morning, we finished the more than 20-mile trek to Martinsburg. Along the way, we’ve been hearing from those most affected by the callous decisions of Sen. Joe Manchin on the environment, living wages, poverty, and more. We’ll be in front of his office tomorrow at 10 AM ET, and we need you there

On Tuesday, Katrina Fernandez told us about the toxic Rockwool fiberglass insulation plant across from her children’s school in Ranson, WV. Stewart Acuff told us about the overcrowded Eastern Regional Jail near Martinsburg this morning. It couldn’t be clearer––the people of West Virginia are suffering, and their politicians are not listening.

 

This rally is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Politicians like Joe Manchin are happy to turn a blind eye to the poor and low-income people of West Virginia. But, if we show up in numbers and have the moral courage to tell the raw truth, he’ll have to listen to us. Join us tomorrow at 10 AM in front of Sen. Joe Manchin’s office at 261 Aikens Center, Martinsburg, WV.

Forward together, not one step back!
