Rally at the Mass State House For Living Wage, Jobs, and Housing on Monday Hi Alfred, Our fifth Monday action in the 40 Days of Action by the Poor Peoples Campaign will be this Monday, June 11th, at the Massachusetts State House. During the last 4 weeks, 80 activists have engaged in civil disobedience to force a Moral conversation around systemic racism, poverty, the war and militarism, and the devastation of our environment. Monday we are fighting for the right to live: to have a living wage, health care, and the right to an education. Next week we are confronting Economic Injustice with a rally at the Statehouse at 2 PM. Those who want to participate in CD please click here; and plan to arrive at SEIU 32BJ's building at 26 West St. at 10 am Monday for training. For the action Monday we will also need a lot of support people, acting as Marshals, Peace Keepers, Handing out Literature, Selling T-Shirts, and Publicizing the Final Poor People's Campaign Rally in Washington DC on June 23rd. If you can help with these tasks, please RSVP here and show up at the training site at 12 noon. We have a great line up of speakers for the rally, which will begin across from the State House on the Boston Common at 2 PM. Following the rally there will be a march to two sites highlighting those opposing the Massachusetts ballot question to raise the minimum wage to $15; and those complicit in policies that deny us adaquate housing, education, and income. We’re showing up Monday because 62 million people in our country work for less than a living wage. At least 25 states have passed laws that preempt cities from raising their minimum wages to living wages. Just 3 individuals own as much wealth as the bottom 50% of us. We refuse the lie that there is scarcity. Join us for economic justice. This will be our last Weekly Action during the 40 Days in Massachusetts. Sign up for the Rally and March as well by checking the RSVP if you can't do support or CD. We hope many of you will come. We also have a whole line up of additional upcoming events next week.
