In the wake of last Saturday’s racist attack in Buffalo, the upcoming June 18 Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington is taking on a new urgency. Organized by the Poor People’s Campaign, the event is intended to be “a generationally-transformative declaration of the power of poor and low-wealth people and our moral allies to say that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t…we won’t…we refuse to be silent anymore.” The AFL-CIO and the Metro Washington Labor Council, which are supporting the Assembly and March, are urging the local labor movement to turn out in support; click here now to RSVP (as either a union or individual). “We Assemble and March on June 18, 2022 because any nation that ignores nearly half of its citizens is in a moral, economic and political crisis,” says the PPC.
