Dear Peoples Center Family and Friends,
The Peoples Center is excited to sponsor two buses and invite you to join the Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls, on June 18th 2022. We are partnering with the Poor Peoples Campaign and are called to assemble and march in the nation’s capital as a broad coalition in response to the pain caused to all of us when there are 140 million poor and low-wealth people in this country. We are called to join together to shift the moral narrative, build power, and demand a national agenda that can realize the nation we have yet to be for so many.

Together, we must challenge the lies of scarcity and the notion that this is the best we can do. Today, America has to guarantee living wages and adequate income, healthcare, affordable housing, quality public education, expanded voting rights and access to democracy, fair taxation, debt relief, just immigration, a climate where we can all thrive, and a world committed to peace rather than violence and war.
For far too long our people – poor people, people of color, Indigenous nations, immigrant families, women, children, the disabled, and LGBTQ communities – have been under attack, pitted against each other, and blamed for society’s problems. But we are building a movement that brings people together across race, gender and sexuality, ability, faith, region, and more to turn our pain, fear, and anger into a united force to reconstruct the nation from the bottom up.
On June 18, we will put a face and voice on the shameful conditions confronting this nation. Together, we will build a massive stage for our people to speak and force the nation to hear the truth. From this stage, we will not simply curse the darkness, but demonstrate our compelling power to right the wrongs of society.
We invite you to join us because we can’t and won’t be silent anymore. Rather than being demoralized by the crises of our times, we must intensify and embolden our agitation at the ballot box, through the courts, and in the streets. Forward Together!
