I’m proud to tell you that DSA is joining the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival!The Poor People’s Campaign is uniting tens of thousands of people across the country to challenge systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation’s distorted morality. And you can get involved right now.
The Poor People’s Campaign builds on the vision of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the last year of his life, Dr. King set out to bring poor people together for non-violent direct action for “a radical redistribution of economic and political power.” Fifty years ago today, the day before his assassination, Dr. King spoke in Memphis as part of the Poor People’s Campaign, standing up for striking sanitation workers.
Today, I urge you to join DSA’s work on the new Poor People’s Campaign, spearheaded by the DSA Religious Socialism Working Group.Non-violent acts of civil disobedience will start Mother’s Day and continue for forty days. Sign up here to get involved with DSA’s Poor People’s Campaign actions.Your support is vital!
As DSAers, you and I understand the connections between poverty, structural racism, warmongering, and environmental catastrophe. And as part of DSA’s Poor People’s Campaign work, you can help dismantle white supremacy and economic oppression and stand up for a democratic socialist future. Sí, se puede!
In solidarity,
Maria Svart, DSA National Director

Dear Friend of the Poor People’s Campaign:
In 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., helped launch the Poor People's Campaign to lift all Americans out of poverty and bring an end to the war economy. Today, our situation is even more urgent.
