DESCRIPTION:Join the Poor People's Campaign for a Heal the Earth, Heal the Nation 
 Digital Rally \nwhere we'll demand environmental justice, health care, fair 
 wages, and COVID relief \nfor all Americans now!\n\nWhen: Monday, March 1, 
 2021 @ noon PT\n\nWebsite w/ more info & livestream here: 
 https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/livestream/\n\nFB livestream here: 
 https://www.facebook.com/anewppc/\n\nThe Poor People’s Campaign: A Call 
 for Moral Revival focuses its next Moral Monday on the fight for 
 environmental justice, economic justice and health care for all; we 
 continue to demand a just COVID relief bill and living wages for all 
 workers.\n\nFrom the sacred lands of Oak Flat in Arizona, threatened by a 
 sale to an international mining company, to the poisoned air and water in 
 Cancer Alley in Louisiana and hunger strikers resisting the pollution of 
 children in Illinois and states in between, we will fight for the rights of 
 people to their clean air, water, land and the right to survive and thrive. 
 \n\nSo join us this Moral Monday at 12pm PT (3pm ET). We’ll be streaming 
 live from our nationwide online broadcast to hear from folks who know what 
 it’s like to try to get by on minimum wage in America, and who have borne 
 the pain of environmental injustice, a lack of adequate healthcare, and the 
 pandemic firsthand.\n_____________\n\nCALL TO ACTION\n\nThe crisis of 
 poverty and low wages is directly connected to the injustices in our 
 healthcare system. We know that 87 million people were uninsured or 
 underinsured before the pandemic and millions have lost their healthcare in 
 the worst public health crisis in a century. These issues are also deeply 
 connected to climate justice, with environmental injustices directly and 
 disproportionately impacting poor and BIPOC communities. \n\nContact your 
 representatives, now!\n\nYou can take action here:

 Priorities for the First 100 Days: The PPC Sends New Demands to 
 Washington\n\nhttps://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/policy-and-legislative-priorities/\n\nOn 
 behalf of the 140 million poor and low-income people in the country, the 
 Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival – and our 45 
 state coordinating committees, thousands of religious leaders, scholars, 
 economists, advocates and hundreds of supporting organizations – insists 
 that the following policies from the Poor People’s Jubilee Platform take 
 precedence during the first 50-100 days of the new administration and 117th 
 Congress.\n\nThe 14 policy priorities include:\n\n--Enact comprehensive and 
 just COVID-19 relief that provides free testing, treatment, vaccines and 
 direct payments to the poor\n\n--Guarantee quality health care for all, 
 regardless of any pre-existing conditions\n\n--Raise the minimum wage to 
 $15/ hour immediately\n\n--Update the poverty measure\n\n--Guarantee 
 quality housing for all\n\n--Enact a federal jobs program to build up 
 investments, infrastructure, public institutions, climate resilience, 
 energy efficiency and socially beneficial industries and jobs in poor and 
 low-income communities\n\n--Protect and expand voting rights and civil 
 rights\n\n--Guarantee safe, quality and equitable public education, with 
 supports for protection against re-segregation\n\n--Comprehensive and just 
 immigration reform\n\n--Ensure all of the rights of indigenous 
 peoples\n\n--Enact fair taxes and targeted tax credits\n\n--Use the power 
 of executive orders\n\n--Redirect the bloated Pentagon Budget towards these 
 priorities as matters of national security\n\n--Work with the PPC to 
 establish a permanent Presidential Council to advocate for this bold 
 agenda\n______________\n
