We will then get snacks and food and proceed to a 5 P.M. People’s Power Assembly where we will hear people’s testimony on the many issues and important proposals about where we should go from there.

8 P.M. to 9 P.M. We will show videos and have teach-ins. During this period, we will hold a meeting of those who will remain in D.C. to decide what we do on Monday and in the future.

Forty-five years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stunned the nation when he called for a poor people’s campaign and march on Washington, D.C. The Poor People’s Campaign was part of the second phase of the Civil Rights movement.

On May 11, Dr. Martin Luther King’s campaign for economic justice will be renewed in Baltimore. On that day, a large coalition of Civil Rights activists, labor unions and progressive community organizations will begin a 41-mile walk from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., to demand immediate change for poor and working people. ...

Organizers want to renew Dr. King’s call for “Jobs or income now” and demand that the federal government: 1) bail out the people, not the banks; 2) provide a massive Works Projects Administration-type program to put the people back to work; and 3) through executive order, place a moratorium on home foreclosures.

They also oppose any and all austerity measures, whether they come in the form of cuts to Social Security, Medicare, unemployment or food stamps.

I usually follow Twitter and Breaking News sites for what is happening, sometimes can't follow up.

Thanks....

How do we get a food/pizza/party movement going to help this group know they are loved and appreciated?

No gas money needed here, but people still need food and it might just motivate many people to join in...

All change comes from below

and exposure.

There is no better news than this today folks!

Martin Luther King Jr is right there marching with them, and we all need to be supporting this.

Finally something we can be proud of!
