AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Subject: Boston: An Opportunity from the Poor People's Campaign!



	TODAY, THURSDAY OCTOBER 19TH Last year Veterans For Peace joined with the Poor People’s Campaign (PPC). The original PPC was launched in 1967 by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This new campaign is addressing the triple evils described by Dr. King; militarism, poverty and bigotry. It is also taking on ecological devastation. Today, in Boston there will be a Mass Meeting and we hope that Veterans For Peace members attend! When:Thursday, October 19 at 7 PM – 9 PM EDT Where:Trinity Church, 206 Clarendon St,, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, United States Join co-chairs Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis for a Mass Meeting for the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival on Thursday, October 19 at 7 PM at Trinity Church in Boston, MA to learn about the inspiration, vision and strategy of the PPC. The Campaign will build a broad and deep national moral fusion movement — rooted in the leadership of the poor and dispossessed as moral agents and reflecting the great moral teachings — to unite our country from the bottom up. For more information and to RSVP, click here. Sign an online pledge card to join the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival here. The campaign provides you and VFP a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of issues with activists to push our nation towards positive change. As Dr. King put it, “We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values."
