New Poor People Campaign to Launch on May 14

The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is uniting tens of thousands of people across the country to challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation's distorted morality.

National organizers are planning to launch The New People's Campaign on Monday, May 14. Some of the communities where rallies were held are planning special launch events on that date and on the days leading to launch date. And rallies will almost certainly occur after the launch date.

In New Mexico, organizers are planning events for six consecutive Mondays, beggining on April 14. An earlier launch event was already held in Albuquerque on Jan. 14, following a successful rally on mass revival in August 2017.

Raising Funds for New Mexico Efforts
Local organizers are raising funds to ensure that efforts in New Mexico remain sustainable.

"It takes money to support a Poor People's Campaign,  We need your support now! Our Goal is to raise $6,000 (for six direct actions, one each  Monday from May 14 to June 18)," said Rev. Holly Beaumont, one of the local leaders."

The funds are needed to cover the cost of travel and housing for representatives from communities across New Mexico to participate in the Non-Violent Moral Fusion Direct Actions.

Stipends will be provided for persons who have completed the Non-Violent Moral Fusion Direct Action Training and signed the Non-Violent Covenant.
