Voting is Power Unleashed! Millions of people in America today are living without health insurance, without living wages, without clean water, and without voting protections. But if we are united, we can build a new electorate to organize and vote for a moral agenda to transform our nation. So join a movement that does M.O.R.E. – Mobilizing, Organizing, Registering and Educating people to vote.
There’s still time to: join a phone and text bank; become a poll monitor; find out where to vote and much more. Get the Digital Tool Kit here.
In 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a “revolution of values” in America. They sought to build a broad, fusion movement that could unite poor and impacted communities across the country. Their name was a direct cry from the underside of history: The Poor People’s Campaign.
Today, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this unfinished work. From Alaska to Arkansas, the Bronx to the border, people are coming together to confront the interlocking evils of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. We understand that as a nation we are at a critical juncture — that we need a fusion movement that will shift the moral narrative, impact policies and elections at every level of government, and build lasting power for poor and impacted people.
With state organizations in 46 states, the Poor People’s campaign is being supported by an incredible range of constituencies including labor unions, faith organizations of all kinds, anti-poverty, environmental and peace groups. UFPJ is proud to be a national organizing partner with the Poor People’s Campaign. Click here to sign up for the Poor People’s Campaign and to find your state committee (scroll down.)
