DESCRIPTION:On this day we will be honoring the 48th anniversary of the Poor People's 
 Campaign. The PPC was the last campaign that MLK jr. organized before his 
 untimely assassination. The PPC culminated in a Tent City, known as 
 Ressurection City being erected in Washington DC in 1968, mere months after 
 King's assassination.\n\nPolicies or decisions are being made on behalf of 
 the homeless community and  homeless voices are being left out of the 
 process.  In 2016, The Coalition on Homelessness launched a series of 
 Homeless People’s Popular Assemblies (HPPA) in encampments around the 
 City.  HPPA's were led solely by homeless or formerly homeless people.  
 These efforts led to leadership development, encampment sweep monitoring 
 and a homeless led petition drive with over 500 homeless signatures calling 
 for dignity and human rights of encampment residents.  \n\nThis MLK Day, we 
 want to reclaim the Radical Legacy of Dr. King as an advocate for Economic 
 Justice and the Rights of Poor People everywhere!  \n\nJoin us for a 
 gathering of homeless, formerly homeless and their supporters for 
 self-determination to create REAL solutions for homelessness on Tuesday, 
 January 17th, at Noon in the Civic Center Plaza for the MLK Homeless People 
 Popular Assembly!\n\nThis is part of a coordinated action with the Western 
 Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP), a multi-state alliance fighting for the 
 civil and human rights of those experiencing poverty and homelessness.
