A Season of Nonviolent Moral Direct Action to Save Our Democracy:
July 12 – August 8, 2021
The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, joined by dozens of partners, our 40+ state coordinating committees, and thousands of faith leaders, has announced a season of non-violent moral direct action July 12 – August 8. We demand that Congress:
1. End the filibuster
2. Pass all provisions of the For the People Act
3. Fully restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act
4. Raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hr
All of this should be done and must be done by August 6th, the anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, 56 years ago.
Sign the Open Letter to the US Senator and White House above and demand they take these steps immediately to save our democracy from massive attacks on voting rights & economic justice across the country.
