 Assembly and Moral March \non Washington and to the Polls\n\nJoin a 
 historic assembly of impacted poor and low-wage workers, representatives 
 from over thirty state coordinating committees, leaders from major 
 religious organizations and denominations, labor unions, and other

 low-wage infrequent voters.\n\nOur votes are not a show of support, but are 
 our demands! \n\nWe demand a 3rd Reconstruction in this country and on June 
 29th at 10am we will once again return to march at Pennsylvania Ave and 3rd 
 Street NW in Washington, DC for the Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage 
 Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls to 
 ensure that our elected leaders in Washington hear us clearly. \n\nWe

 allows humanitarian relief, the release of all hostages, and peace with 
 justice to be pursued; and an end to genocide, around the world\n\n--An end 
 to hate, division, and the extremist political agenda\n\nJoin us as we come 
 together to march on June 29th to demand candidates support a moral public 
 policy agenda that includes policies that lift from the 
 bottom!\n\n______________________________________________________________\n\nWhat 
 is a 3rd Reconstruction?\n\nIt’s Time to Fully Address Poverty and Low 
 Wages from the Bottom Up!\n\nDrawing on the transformational history of the 
 First Reconstruction following the Civil War and the Second Reconstruction 
 of the civil rights struggles of the 20th century, the Third Reconstruction 
 is a revival of our constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide 
 for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that 
 policies that center the 140 million are also good economic policies that 
 can heal and transform the nation.\n\nEmerging from the pain and organizing 
 power of the 140 million people living in poverty or with low wages in this 
 nation, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects an 
 omnibus vision for a fundamental restructuring of society that lifts from 
 the bottom. The non-partisan resolution comes as a response to years of 
 movement-building to create the collective resolve necessary to implement 
 real and transformational legislative action.\n\nThis resolution recognizes 
 that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction we must simultaneously 
 deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, 
 ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the 
 distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor 
 instead of the systems that cause 
 poverty.\n\nhttps://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/join-us-as-we-build-the-third-reconstruction/\n\nhttps://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Third-Reconstruction_long_9-15.pdf\n______________________________________________________________
