 \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

 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

 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
