Dear Tony,

June 23 is the conclusion of the 40 days of nonviolent action, initiated by the Poor People’s Campaign. Every week since May 14, the campaign has highlighted a different issue related to what Martin Luther King Jr. called the “3 evils” – racism, poverty, and militarism – plus ecological devastation. Now join us for the concluding mass rally tying all of these issues together on Saturday, June 23 in Washington, D.C.!
What: MASS RALLY: Stand Against War & Economic, Racial, and Environmental Injustice
When: Saturday, June 23 at 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Where: National Mall, Jefferson Drive SW and 7th St. SW, Washington, D.C.
RSVP on Facebook!
Bus transportation is available from many locations. Find a ride near you!

Fifty years ago, members of the first Poor People’s Campaign made their voices heard by camping out in Resurrection City, a tent city on the Washington Mall where thousands of poor people from across the United States gathered to demand that the nation “lift the load of poverty.”

But it’s been fifty years, and there are 60% more people living under the poverty line than in 1968, the Voting Rights Act has been dismantled, the military budget is the highest it’s ever been, and communities across the nation still lack basic access to clean drinking water and proper sewage treatment.

We need your help moving this country forward by seizing the nation’s attention. Let’s pack the National Mall this June 23, and demonstrate unprecedented grassroots strength. Rally with us in D.C.!

Forward together,
