PPC is a highly diverse umbrella movement lifting from the bottom up, bringing together many many amazing individuals and organizations nationwide, working from grassroots- to policy level to build power for Change. The PPC fights the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, systemic poverty, the war economy, climate destruction and the false narrative of religious nationalism. We're in the beginning of the 40 weeks of moral action when we're taking back the mic, lifting our voices and register our votes as demands. Please join us on Saturday March 2nd at 10am when we march from the old state house the (current) statehouse, Boston common where a rally will be held 11am-1pm. It will be peaceful with no civil disobedience. On that same day and time mass gatherings will take place simultaneously in the state capitals across the country loudly demanding the abolishment of poverty which is the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S. We gather and manifest the belief in the unity of love, not the division of hate.
