Poor People's Campaign Day of Action, Salem

From our partners at the PPC: 
 
The Oregon Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, will have their last day of action in this first phase of 40 days of action on Monday, June 18th in Salem - please join us!   
 
This action is a part of a national campaign taking place in 41 states and in our nation's capital. It is a part of 40 days of action started on Mother's Day to fight the four evils of poverty, systemic racism,   the military economy and ecological devastation.   More than 1500 people in Oregon have signed up to be a part of this campaign.  
 
If you have not but want to, please fill in the pledge card here: www.poorpeoplescampaign.org .
