We are delighted to provide fiscal sponsorship to the Washington state chapter of the Poor Peoples Campaign: their goals are aligned with ours – to support programs and projects that serve the common good by fostering peace, providing community service, and meeting human needs, while working closely with local organizations in the US at a grassroots level. The Poor People’s Campaign is a people-powered movement that is bringing impacted folks and moral allies together to form a fusion coalition of all races, all faiths, all regions. This national call for a moral revival launched in 2018 with an historic wave of nonviolent civil disobedience to address the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation + denial of health care, militarism & the war economy, and the false moral narrative of religious nationalism. Drawing on the history of moral fusion movements, the Poor People’s Campaign is made up of over 40 state coordinating committees, over 200 partner organizations and thousands of religious leaders, bringing together the nation’s 140 million poor and low-income people across race, ability, religion, gender and sexual orientation, region, and issue. Alongside faith leaders, organized labor, advocates, activists and other people of conscience, the Poor People’s Campaign seeks to address these injustices and revive the heart and soul of our democracy, with an agenda rooted in the needs and priorities of the 140 million, as well as our deepest Constitutional and moral values. GCJ’s founder, Susan Partnow, is thrilled to join the Mass Mobilization on JUNE 18, 2022 10AM – NATIONAL MALL, WASHINGTON DC The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington will be a generationally transformative and disruptive gathering of poor and low-wealth people, state leaders, faith communities, moral allies, unions and partnering organizations
