This Saturday, March 2, the Poor People's Campaign is launching a day of nationally coordinated, simultaneous, direct action in in more than 30 state capitals and Washington, D.C.
This weekend's “Mass Poor People's and Low -Wage Workers' Moral March to Statehouse Assemblies” will kick off 40 weeks of voter mobilization across the United States.
On this week’s Ralph Nader Radio Hour, Bishop Barber announced, “We are launching a 40 plus week campaign. And we're doing it as state capitals because that's where so much political insurrection and damage is done regarding policies that could lift poor people. So, we're saying, if you believe that we should abolish poverty - the fourth leading causes of death - pass living wages, healthcare, fully fund public education, protect women's rights, end the proliferation of profiteering on guns, and things of that nature, then join us in this launch.”
Gather at 10:00am at your state capitol to begin marching at 11:00am.

And tune into this Saturday’s Ralph Nader Radio Hour to hear Bishop Barber elaborate on the effort it more detail.
Here, what elections should mean to Americanos. Hero.
“It’s beyond doubt that the world has raised its voice. The world has condemned what the Zionist entity is doing, and not a single politician in a position of authority has lifted a finger to stop it,” educator, writer and essayist Steven Salaita says.
Salaita, who now lives in Cairo, Egypt, spoke with me about moral clarity and the emboldening of political principles as Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza nears its five-month mark.

“And in fact, rather than stopping it, they have aided it and abetted it and funded it and justified it. So we have to be serious now. Where does that leave us? What options do we have?” Salaita continued.
DON'T VOTE!

“I don’t have the answers at the moment. A lot of answers are emerging and will continue to emerge from Gaza itself, but I do know where we cannot look anymore.”
Salaita is the author of eight books, including Uncivil Rites and Inter/Nationalism: Decolonizing Native America and Palestine.
