REGISTER HERE: bit.ly/BrooklynMobilizationPPCThe New York State Poor People’s Campaign is organizing a powerful delegation of poor and low-wealth people for the Poor People’s and Low Wage Workers’ Mass Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18! We march on June 18 because any nation that ignores nearly half of its citizens is in a moral, economic and political crisis. There were 140 million people who were poor or one emergency away from economic ruin before the pandemic. Since March 2020, while hundreds of thousands of people have died, and millions are on the edge of hunger and eviction, and are still without health care or living wages, billionaire wealth has grown by over $2 trillion.Brooklyn for Peace and the PPC are organizing Brooklyn based faith communities and organizations to build solidarity and get on a bus or buses leaving from Brooklyn. Information and details regarding this mobilization will be discussed at this meeting. Please join us and learn how you and your community can participate!

Sat. May 21, 11:00 am–12:00 noon: Join us at this vigil in Brooklyn to call for peace in Ukraine! We’ll have a banner and flyers. While we continue to condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, we also urge President Biden to change course, and going forward, to use all diplomatic tools available to enunciate an urgent call for a cease-fire and a negotiated solution. We’re very alarmed by the shift in stated US policy from assisting Ukraine’s defense to fostering an indefinite military quagmire for Russia. This is a dangerously misguided approach, certain to produce greater suffering and destruction.
