 People's Campaign will hold the largest digital and social media gathering 
 of poor and low-wealth people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and 
 people \nof conscience in this nation’s history. \n\nA global pandemic is 
 exposing even more the already existing crisis of systemic racism, poverty, 
 ecological devastation, the war economy and militarism, and the distorted 
 moral narrative of religious nationalism. \n\nIt’s Time to RISE UP and DO 
 MORE Mobilize, Organize, Register, Educate people for the movement who will 
 use their VOICE and VOTE!\n\nJoin us on June 20, when the 140 million poor 
 and low-income people across this nation \nwill be 
 heard!\n___________________________________________________________\n\nOUR 
 DEMANDS\n\nWe demand that the nation stop listening to the lies, stop 
 moralizing to the poor about personal responsibility and stop blaming the 
 poor. Instead, we demand that the nation finally address the scandal and 
 immoral reality of structural poverty, systemic racism, ecological 
 devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the distorted narrative of 
 religious nationalism that existed before COVID-19.\n\nWe demand that the 
 voices of the poor and low income people be heard. We refuse to continue to 
 be quiet about 140 million poor and low income people in the U.S. and 
 250,000 people dying from poverty every year before COVID-19. This is not 
 acceptable!\n\nWe demand that the Moral Agenda and Moral Budget of the Poor 
 People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival be enacted. After 
 seeing trillions of dollars transferred\nto corporations and the wealthy, 
 we will not tolerate the lies of scarcity and the refusal to fully address 
 systemic poverty and its interlocking 
 injustices.\n\nhttps://sign.moveon.org/petitions/this-pandemic-demands-a-systemic-response-an-urgent-message-from-the-poor-people-s-campaign\n\nCopy

 Poor People's Campaign\n\nIn 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. \n\nToday, the Poor 
 People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this 
 unfinished work to confront the interlocking evils of systemic racism, 
 poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the 
 distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. \n\nWe 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. 
 \n\nThe Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is made 
 up of people of all backgrounds, we are Black, Brown, White, Native, and 
 Asian; we are old and young; we are Christian, Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist, 
 Hindu, Muslim; we are people of faith and not of faith; we are people of 
 all sexual orientations and gender identities; we are led by poor people 
 and we are a cross-class movement; we are people of all abilities; and we 
 live across this nation, from Alabama to Alaska, from Maine to California 
 to Mississippi.\n\nCALIFORNIA PPC:
