Let's make the call for democracy, health care, and a fair economy loud and clear! Together, on June 18, we will lift up a moral call to heal our nation.

Dear MoveOn member,

This is Bishop William J. Barber II. I am writing to you with deep concern about the health of our nation. Every day, it seems we face a new crisis, but the impact of each is shaped by the preexisting condition of poverty in America. 140 million people—almost half of our population—are poor or low-wealth. Whether the issue is abortion restrictions, acts of violence in our schools and workplaces, heightened calls for war, extreme weather events, or the ongoing pandemic, poor people are hurt first and worst. And poor people know that all of the injustices they face are deeply connected.

Join thousands of people across the country for the Mass Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18.

Over the last few years, I have crisscrossed the nation and seen the deep impacts of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy, the denial of health care, and a distorted moral narrative that tells us that in the richest country in the world there is not enough to go around. As long as America ignores these realities, we all live in an impoverished democracy. Today, the moral conscience of our society must be shocked into action if we are to survive as a nation.

Reserve your bus seat to D.C. to join the Mass Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington. Let's make the call for democracy, health care, and a fair economy loud and clear!

Interlocking crises demand an intersectional response, and on June 18 thousands upon thousands will do exactly that, by coming together for the Mass Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls. On June 18, poor and low-wealth people will stand shoulder to shoulder with all justice-loving people to make the country hear and see their pain. Together, we will lift up a moral call to heal our nation.

This is not a one-day event. It is a declaration that the time to act is now. RSVP to reserve your spot today.

MoveOn has long understood what is possible when the people come together to demonstrate their power. Many of you have been on the front lines for years. For some of you, this may be a first.

Whatever your walk of life, I am asking if you will lace up your marching shoes and join us in Washington, D.C., on June 18.

Forward together!

–Bishop William J. Barber II

Want to support our work? Right-wing groups are spending tens of millions of dollars on TV ads to smear critical progressive legislation. Meanwhile, donations to progressive groups like MoveOn are plummeting now that a Democrat is in the White House, meaning we don’t have the resources to fight back. That's a huge problem, and that's why we urgently need your support.

Will you chip in to fight right-wing lies and pass urgent legislation to confront the multiple crises our country faces?
