Dear Friends,<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
COVID-19 has forced the nation into an unprecedented emergency. The current emergency, however, results from a deeper and much longer-term crisis \u2014 that of poverty and inequality, and of a society that has long ignored the needs of 140 million people who are poor or one emergency away from being poor.<\/div>
<\/div>
In 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a \u201crevolution of values\u201d in America and sought to build a broad movement that could unite poor and dispossessed communities across the country. Today, the Poor People\u2019s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this work. People across the nation have joined under the banner of the Campaign to confront the interlocking evils of systemic racism, poverty, climate change and ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
They are coming together to\u00a0demand that\u00a0the 140 million poor and low-income people in our nation<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 from every race, creed, gender, sexuality and place \u2014 are no longer ignored, dismissed or pushed to the margins of our political and social agenda.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
That\u2019s why\u00a0CAIR Pittsburgh\u00a0is proud to join the Poor People\u2019s Campaign as a mobilizing partner for the Mass Poor People\u2019s Assembly and Moral March on Washington Digital Justice Gathering, on June 20, 2020. We have a duty to ensure the rights of others, to be just- even if it is against ourselves, to protect the poor and the vulnerable amongst us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
Register today for June 20, 2020.<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
The Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington will be an historic, generationally transformative digital event. Across the internet and the airwaves we will drive the vision and agenda of our communities into the heart of the national narrative.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
In this unprecedented moment, we must tell the truth about the dire failures of our political leaders. We must also demonstrate that it is the leadership emerging from poor and dispossessed people that is paving a different way forward.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
History teaches us that it is exactly in moments like these that a movement of the many is necessary to force the nation into action. In the midst of pandemic, economic collapse, climate change, and more, the key to real and lasting change lies within our communities \u2014 within our ability to come together in new and bold ways.\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/a>Join with us by registering for June 20, 2020<\/a>\u00a0and share the news through social media.<\/div>
<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
On June 20, we cry power to the nation!<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
<\/div>
Kind Regards,<\/div>
