 Campaign will hold the largest digital and social media gathering of poor 
 and low-wealth people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and \npeople 
 of 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:\nMobilize, Organize, Register, Educate people for the movement \nwho 
 will use their VOICE and VOTE!\n\nJoin us on June 21 for the restream of 
 140 million poor and low-income people across this nation being 
 heard!\n\nREGISTER TO VOTE: https://registertovote.ca.gov/\n\nTAKE THE 
 CENSUS:

 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:
