The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is uniting people in Washington, D.C. to challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation’s distorted morality of religious nationalism. The Poor People’s Campaign is non-partisan but deeply political.

In the United States, our voting rights are under attack at the same time there are over 80 million poor and low-income voters, who account for one-third of the electorate. We know that if the 148,000 poor and low-income, infrequent voters in DC voted at the same frequency as those with higher incomes, they could change what is possible up and down the ballot!
We are waking the sleeping giant of poor and low-income, infrequent voters. RSVP here to join us on October 5
Forward Together, Not One Step Back!
DC Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival
Between 2018-2020, 280,000 people were living in poverty or just one emergency away from economic ruin in Washington DC, accounting for 39.6% of the population.
Poverty was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, claiming
more lives than homicide, gun violence, diabetes or obesity. Long-term poverty was
responsible for 295,000 deaths a year – or over 800 deaths a day.
We must join forces and make our voices heard, as impacted folks & advocates, to push for economic justice in this city and this country.
