Reforming: The Poor People's Campaign

In  1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a  “revolution of values” in America. They sought to build a broad, fusion  movement that could unite poor and impacted communities across the  country. Their name was a direct cry from the underside of history: The  Poor People’s Campaign. 

Today,  the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has  picked up this unfinished work. People are coming together to confront  the interlocking evils of systemic racism, poverty, ecological  devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the distorted moral  narrative of religious nationalism. They understand that as a nation we  are at a critical juncture — that we need a movement that will shift the  moral narrative, impact policies and elections at every level of  government, and build lasting power for poor and impacted people. 

We'll  explore the principles and demands guiding the Poor Peoples Campaign  and discern whether to participate in the Poor People's Assembly and  Moral March on Washington, D.C. on June 20.
