Moral Mondays - Poor People's Campaign

  

July 12, 2021

 

In a press release on Monday, the Poor People’s Campaign outlined its plans for a “season of nonviolent direct action” over the next month as the Senate GOP’s obstruction—and Democrats’ refusal to take the steps necessary to break it—threatens to derail much of President Joe Biden’s policy agenda:

·         July 12, a massive national call-in to every senator, to shut down the switchboards if necessary.

·         July 19, the anniversary of the Women’s Convention at Seneca Falls, nonviolent moral direct action in D.C. led by women from all over the country.

·         July 26, in all Senate offices, regardless of party, people in at least 45 states, will engage in nonviolent moral direct action.

·         August 2, nonviolent moral direct action focused on the U.S. Senate and led by a mass number of clergy and religious leaders with poor and low-wage workers.
