Congress has not yet taken action to pass the Build Back Better plan, protect voting rights, advance immigrant rights, fight for the health of the planet, and more. United for Peace & Justice is partnering with the Poor People’s Campaign in calling for a movement-wide mobilization and a show of force to demand that Congress “Get it Done in 2021!”
Join the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival for a Moral Monday March on Washington, DC on December 13, 2021 at 12 noon ET We’ve promised to try to turn out 50 people to tell Congress: Get It Done in 2021! Can you help us meet our goal? Read on for information about free buses to DC.
Rally & Nonviolent Direct Action
Join folks from across the country for a rally at 12 noon ET on Capitol Hill in DC. RSVP for the rally here.
Following the rally, a group of 140 people will be engaging in nonviolent moral direct action, to represent the 140 million people who are poor and low-income in this country. Register for the nonviolent direct action here.
Anyone who participates in the direct action must attend an in-person training either the evening of Sunday, Dec. 12, or the morning of Dec. 13 (location TBD). You should also be able to stay in DC until Tuesday, Dec. 14, in case there are any fines associated with the action that you will need to pay.
