Poor People's Campaign

Poor People's Campaign

Fifty years ago, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called for a Poor People’s Campaign inviting all Americans to stand together against the “triplets of evil”--militarism, racism, and economic injustice. At this time of intensifying political, economic, and moral crisis, with the lives of the most vulnerable and the spirits of all under vicious attack, people in growing numbers around the country are fighting back for their lives, communities and deepest values. There is a resounding call to the very soul of this nation: We need a new Poor People’s Campaign for a Moral Revival in America. The "new" Poor People's Campaign, led by Rev. William Barber and endorsed by the UUA, will be organizing 40 days of protest, resistance, organizing, and civil disobedience in North Carolina and across the U.S. from May 14 through June 21, 2018. Stay tuned for more information, connect with PPC events in your community, and support the PPC.

Say "No" to Trump's Policy of Separating Undocumented Children and Parents.

The Trump Administration's "zero tolerance" policy of prosecuting undocumented immigrants who enter the US has has resulted in the separation of almost 3,000 children from their parents over recent weeks (about 45 family separations each and every day) and the construction of massive tent cities to hold these children along the Mexican border. More than two dozen religious groups, including Franklin Graham, the National Association of Evangelical Christians, and US Catholic bishops, have condemned this policy as immoral, unjust, inhumane, and heartless and we do, too. As religious progressives, we can't be silent or sit on the sidelines. We have to speak out and take action.
