Poor People's Campaign March on State Capitals- Virginia

Poor People's Campaign March on State Capitals- Virginia

We will be mobilizing, organizing, registering, and educating poor and low-wage infrequent voters for a movement that votes. We will be bringing our demands to the state house and to the halls of Congress. For 40 weeks, we will be taking back the mic from extremists, lifting our voices, and registering our votes as demands.

On March 2nd, we will gather at over 30 state houses and in Washington, D.C. for a day of nationally coordinated, simultaneous direct action. Then, on June 15th in Washington D.C., we will come together again for a Mass Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers Moral March on Washington and to the Polls. Our season will continue with a massive voter mobilization drive, building on our work in 2020 and 2022, where we will touch over 15 million poor and low-wage, infrequent voters ahead of the November elections, demonstrating that our votes are not support, they are demands.
