Poor People's Campaign: National Nonviolent Moral Fusion Direct Action Training
New Apr 14 Saturday 9:30am-2:30pm, Santa Ana: Poor People's Campaign: National Nonviolent Moral Fusion Direct Action Training @ First Congregational Church, 2555 Santiago St. Santa Ana
Poor People's Campaign was created on December 4, 1967, by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and its leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to address the impact of poverty on the lives of millions of Americans. The campaign fell by the wayside when Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 and has been revived by Reverend Dr. William Barber, who has said, “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. We need you to step up and join our efforts.” The OC Chapter is looking for leaders and volunteers to help with any of the 5 working committees: Arts & Culture, Legal, Communication, Organizing and Political Education, and Nonviolent Civil Disobedience.
