DESCRIPTION:Join the Poor People's Campaign this Moral Monday as we commemorate the 
 anniversary of Selma's Bloody Sunday and honor International Women's 
 Day.\n\nMonday, March 8 @ noon PT\n\nLivestream here: 
 https://www.facebook.com/anewppc/\n\nWebsite info & livestream here: 
 https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/livestream/\n\n\nWe will mark the 56th 
 anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when peaceful protesters, putting their lives 
 on the line for voting rights, crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, 
 Alabama and were met with lethal force at the hands of federal and local 
 law enforcement. This year’s commemoration is especially urgent: The 
 Senate, the US Supreme Court and legislatures around the country are once 
 again debating voting rights.\n\nMarch 8th is also International Women’s 
 Day, an official United Nations day in support and recognition of women's 
 rights worldwide. We’ll be hearing from poor and low-wealth women and 
 workers, including our union partners, who are organizing and agitating in 
 their communities from Alabama to Appalachia, from California to 
 Carolina.\n______________________________________________________________\n\nCALL

 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--Guarantee quality health care for all, 
 regardless of any pre-existing conditions\n--Raise the minimum wage to $15/ 
 hour immediately\n--Update the poverty measure\n--Guarantee quality housing 
 for all\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--Protect and expand voting rights and civil 
 rights\n--Guarantee safe, quality and equitable public education, with 
 supports for protection against re-segregation\n--Comprehensive and just 
 immigration reform\n--Ensure all of the rights of indigenous 
 peoples\n--Enact fair taxes and targeted tax credits\n--Use the power of 
 executive orders\n--Redirect the bloated Pentagon Budget towards these 
 priorities as matters of national security\n--Work with the PPC to 
 establish a permanent Presidential Council to advocate for this bold 
 agenda\n______________________________________________________________\n
