On the anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment guaranteeing that no one’s vote shall be denied or abridged, the Poor People’s Campaign will join with West Virginians to demand a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin.

West Virginia pastors, miners and low-wage workers invited the co-chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival – Bishop William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis – to join them for a news conference rally.

Along with low-wage workers from Schumer’s home state of New York, the West Virginia speakers will release a letter to Sen. Schumer to demand that he call the question on the For the People Act, restoration of the Voting Rights Act and a Build Back Better plan that includes a permanent child tax credit, family leave and a living wage. The country and the 140 million poor and low-income people demand an uncompromising vote on all three.

Forward together, not one step back!
