Recognizing the power of everyone who has been moved into action against the brutality of police violence and systemic racism, the PPC is organizing a teach-in on Saturday, June 6. We will share an analysis of the moment we are in, hear from people on the ground, and discuss practical lessons on history, protest, and movement building for the long haul.

3. National Day of Fasting and Focus: Stop Where You Are
Monday, June 8, 5 PM to 5:30 PM EST. Join us live on Facebook
Two weeks after the murder of George Floyd, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is calling the nation for a Day of Fasting and Focus which will culminate at 5:00pm when we are asking people to stop where you are for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence in honor of the time George Floyd had the literal knee of the state on his neck. You can tune in at fb.com/anewppc.
United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) is proud to be a national mobilizing partner in the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. We urge you to join us in helping to make June 20 the largest digital and social media gathering of poor and low-income people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and people of conscience in this nation’s history.
Forward Together!
The UFPJ Coordinating Committee
