I just finished watching this watch. I will be repeated tonight at 6 and on
Sunday at 6 EDT.
It was very moving and inspiring.
*VIRTUAL MORAL MARCH ON WASHINGTON*
June 20 10:00 a.m. and 6 p.m., and June 21 6:00 p.m.
*WHAT*
- The Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington will be
the largest digital gathering of poor, dispossessed and impacted people,
faith leaders, and people of conscience on June 20, 2020.
- The increasing urgency of a broad movement led by the poor and most
impacted is more apparent every day. Now is the time to organize towards
collective action to enact a moral agenda for the nation. As our ranks grow
in the coming months due to COVID-19 and the ongoing crisis of poverty,
building a platform for the plight, fight, and insight of the poor is even
more urgent
- We are marshalling our collective voices to demonstrate the power of
our communities. We demand that both major political parties address the
interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological
devastation, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious
nationalism by implementing our Moral Agenda

to
tune in.
*WHERE*
- The Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington is going
digital! We will gather from all 50 U.S. states and territories, and from
across the world.
*WHY*
- We are gathering on June 20, 2020 to dramatize the pain and prophetic
leadership of the poor and build power to enact our demands.
- We are *waking* the nation to the interlocking injustices facing 140
million poor and low-income people, 43% of the nation.
- But it’s not enough just to be *awake*. It’s not the waking, *it’s the
rising*. On June 20, 2020, we rise together!
- If the rejected millions—the poor without health insurance, without
living wages, without clean water, without voting protections—unite, we can
move the moral and political imagination of this country and revive the
heart of our democracy!
*WHO*
- The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is made
up of people of all backgrounds, we are Black, Brown, White, Native, and
Asian; we are old and young; we are Christian, Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist,
Hindu, Muslim; we are people of faith and not of faith; we are people of
all sexual orientations and gender identities; we are led by poor people
*and *we are a cross-class movement; we are people of all abilities; and
we live across this nation, from Alabama to Alaska, from Maine to
California to Mississippi.
*HOW*
- We will gather online on June 20, 2020 from across the country and
world.
- We will launch a robust accessibility campaign to ensure those of us
most affected by poverty and its interlocking injustices are able to
participate fully.
