Nonviolent Moral Fusion Direct Action in Boston

Dear Smedleys

This Monday, May 14, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will launch a season of nonviolent moral fusion direct action in Massachusetts, and Massachusetts Peace Action needs you to join us there. 

In communities across America—black, white, brown and Native—poor people, people of faith, and their supporters have built a Poor People’s Campaign to become what Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called “a new and unsettling force in our complacent national life.”

On May 14, we will make the demands of the poor and dispossessed known to our failing leaders in Massachusetts by standing together at the State House in Boston.  Sign up now to join us in nonviolent moral fusion direct action next Monday.

By engaging in highly publicized, nonviolent moral fusion direct action, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will force a serious national examination of the enmeshed evils of systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy, and our distorted moral narrative.

These enmeshed evils know no boundaries. That’s why we need people who care about economic injustice, racism, militarism, and environmental devastation to build something better. Sign up today to join the Massachusetts Poor People’s Campaign in Boston on Monday.

Monday marks the opening of 40 days of moral direct action in Boston and across the United States.  Stay tuned for details of actions focusing on racism and immigration May 21; the war economy, militarism, and gun violence May 28-29; health of the planet and of the people June 4; economic injustice June 11; and the need for a new moral narrative on June 23, when we will travel to Washington.

Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, co-coordinator of the Poor People's Campaign, spoke out forcefully on the necessity of moral resistance in the face of militarism in his sermon last Sunday.  Click here to watch this important presentation.
