March 2: A Day of Nationally-Coordinated, Simultaneous Direct Action against poverty in 31 State Capitals!
Join us here in Boston at the Massachusetts Poor Peoples and Low Wage Workers Moral March and Assembly at the State House
Join the Massachusetts Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival on March 2, 2024 at 9:30 AM as we gather to march and rally bringing the demands of poor and low-wealth people for living wages, healthcare, housing, education, environmental justice, and voting rights directly to our lawmakers.
In the United States poverty is the 4th leading cause of death. Here in Massachusetts, there are 1,357,654 poor and low-income eligible voters. This is the power of the sleeping giant! Organizing and mobilizing poor and low-income voters means that we can build the Massachusetts we believe in! It’s time for us to take back the mic from those who want to talk about everything else but the death-sentence of poverty in these yet to be United States. That’s why we are mobilizing around the issues that impact our communities most. If you believe in freedom, if you believe in living wages, healthcare, voting rights and stopping voter suppression, equal rights for all, worker and labor rights, environmental justice, access to housing, fully-funded public education, abolishing poverty, and the unity of love not the division of hate, join us on March 2nd, 2024 at 9:30AM in Boston!

The Poor Peoples Campaign is A national mobilization to address the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. From Appalachia to Alabama, the Carolinas to California, the Borderlands to the Bronx, from the hood to the holler, we are organizing the power of the nation’s 140 million poor and low income people to ensure that the abundance we live in is marshalled towards the needs and priorities of the poor.
