[SRCAction] Join in the Vermont Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

Thu May 17 07:58:37 CDT 2018

Hello, all,

It was cathartic and inspiring for me to participate with dozens of others
in Monday's rally and action as part of the Poor People's Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival <https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/> here
in Vermont <http://www.poorpeoplescampaignvt.org>. I was glad to see many
UCM friends at the event!

This was just day two of 40 Days of Action happening all over the country.

If you missed it, or have heard about the Poor People's Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival but haven't really delved into what the
campaign is all about, read more below.

Events continue throughout the week with the next rally and action taking
place Monday, May 21st.

*Each week in Washington, DC there will be events live streamed across the
nation. All events will be live streamed from the PPC: NCMR Facebook Page

each week will be further explored by thought leaders, moral leaders and
impacted leaders in a nationally broadcast teach-in. Local viewing events
and discussion is encouraged.  Thursday Evenings  -    Justice Jam Night
<https://facebook.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1f000d0728d8306dd6b1f2d1c&id=18b80b7dfb&e=26d9fc88bf>

next month or so!

Greetings Joan,

On Monday, you may have joined the Vermont Poor People’s Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival to launch the largest wave of nonviolent in
civil disobedience in US history. This action kicked off our our six-week
season of nonviolent direct action in Vermont!

For the first week, we focused on child poverty, women in poverty and
people with disabilities. Monday’s actions come as the Trump administration
pushes work requirements for SNAP recipients and seeks to cut $7 billion
from a child healthcare program.

If you missed week one, you can catch some of the fantastic local and
national news coverage!

This is an important issue for anyone who cares that almost half—23
states—have adopted some form of voter suppression law since 2010; that
deportations have increased tenfold between 1976 and 2015; or that Native
Americans and Alaska Natives have the highest poverty rate of any racial
group.

*If you RSVP to Week Two's rally, we’ll send you a reminder email ahead of
time and give you instructions on when and where to show up.
