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.
