In the past several weeks they have convened in Richmond, Virginia; Wichita, Kansas; Kansas City, Missouri; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Racine, Wisconsin.

Stories have been shared about farmers committing suicide because they can’t provide for their families, alongside immigrant families at risk of being torn apart, and veterans who survived war only to die from Agent Orange exposure back at home. We have proclaimed “somebody is hurting our people” after people whose votes have been suppressed by felony disenfranchisement, voter purges, and the closing down of polling places, and low wage workers who risk homelessness and incarceration because of poverty, speak out.
United for Peace and Justice is proud to be an Endorsing Partner in the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Consider sharing your story about the need for ending wars and militarism at a local event near you.
At the conclusion of each hearing, we read the demands of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Participate to be sure that ending war and militarism is affirmed as a demand along with automatic voter registration at the age of 18, universal single-payer health care, a $15 living wage and a union, and clean air, water and land.
Forward together, not one step back!
