I’m attending an event called Week 5 Albany Non-Violent Moral Direct Action. Can you join me?
THIS WEEK’S THEME IS: EVERYBODY’S GOT A RIGHT TO LIVE – EDUCATION, JOBS, INCOME, LABOR, HOUSING, AND THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has undertaken 40 Days of Action to launch a massive movement to address the evils of poverty, racism, militarism, and ecological devastation. Each week for six weeks all kinds of people across the country have congregated at their state capitals to raise awareness about the unique and common ways they are affected by the evils. Some participate in civil disobedience to withdraw their consent from a status quo that doesn’t prioritize the basic rights and needs of humans.
We will have buses available from NYC and Rochester. If you would like to sponsor a bus or van, please contact Joe – jpaparone@labor-religion.org
