Poor People’s Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls

Saturday, June 18 @ 9 am

3rd & Pennsylvania Ave, NW

On Saturday, June 18, the Poor People’s Campaign (PPC) is holding the Poor People’s Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls. We are writing to invite you to join us as we head to the Mall that day for this historic, critical March.  

Why should a climate action activist head down to the Assembly and Moral March?

350MoCo is rallying at the March to support the PPC’s focus on acting against the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy. We clearly see that poverty and inequality muffle the voices and suppress the votes of the marginalized in our country, allowing the economic system that drives climate devastation to continue and spread. Joining the March is a step in favor of climate justice, towards greater equality and towards restoring our democracy to full health.

We won’t be alone in joining the March. A wide array of organizations involved in climate and social justice – labor groups, the ACLU, Children’s Defense Fund and our own local CCAN – are sponsors. Let’s swell the numbers on this great event!

The March will start at 10:00 AM on Saturday, June 18, at 3rd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. 350MoCo will meet at 9:00 AM at the top of the Judiciary Square Metro stop, by the National Building Museum entrance. We’re encouraged to wear 350MoCo t-shirts to show the wide array of groups stepping out in support of the March. Just let me know if you need a t-shirt. Signs and banners are allowed, but no poles or sticks. More details are available on page 10 of the March Organizers’ Guide.  

Please join us! Sign up here to let us know you’re interested. See you in DC on Saturday, June 18, 9:00 AM!
