Everybody’s Got a Right to Live has been a central message of the Poor People’s Campaign since 1968 when the Rev. Frederick Doughlass Kirkpatrick and Jimmy Collier sang it in Resurrection City. When we launched the Campaign in 2018, we revived this song and used its power to connect our movement across the country during 40 days of moral fusion direct action. Jimmy Collier once said, “Music is the easiest way to tell the story of what we’re trying to do; [our] songs are one of the best tools for getting people together.” We invite you to join us as we raise our voices and demand that, “Everybody’s Got a Right to Live.”
