The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival invites you to join poor and low-income, directly impacted people, faith leaders, and moral advocates from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware for the The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls Mobilization Tour in person and online Monday April 25th. The March will begin at 5pm ET and the Mass Assembly at 6pm in Center City, Philadelphia.
Interpretation in Spanish and ASL will be available for this event.
The priorities and demands of poor and low-wealth Pennsylvanians and neighbors will be front and center as we continue to demonstrate the voting and moral power of those most impacted by the policy violence of the US Congress and state houses. Somebody’s hurting our people, and it’s gone on far too long, and we WON’T BE SILENT ANYMORE!
They will be joined by faith leaders and artists to demand this nation do MORE to live up to its possibilities:
- MORE to fully address the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the war economy, and the false moral narrative of religious nationalism.
- MORE to change the narrative and build the power of those most impacted by these injustices.
- MORE to realize a 3rd Reconstruction agenda that can build this country from the bottom up and realize the nation we have yet to be.
Can you help with outreach, publicity, social media, art making, childcare, tabling, other roles that are need to make this a powerful event? Fill out this volunteer form!

The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18, 2022 will be a generationally-transformative declaration of the power of poor and low-wealth people and our moral allies to say that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t…we won’t…we refuse to be silent anymore!
“It is NOT just a day of action. It is a declaration of an ongoing, committed moral movement to 1) Shift the moral narrative; 2) Build power; and 3) Make real policies to fully address poverty and low wealth from the bottom up.”
—Bishop William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
