THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN INC

Written by: The Poor People's Campaign Inc on Jul 12, 2008 12:07 AM EDT

The Poor People's Campaign inc is committed to continuing the legacy of The Dr. Martin Luther King, jr., which is the nonviolent opposition to social and economic injustices wherever and whenever they may exist. It is our objective to lead the fight against oppression, working together with churches, community based organizations, labor unions, and the community at large to validate the dignity and worth of every human being. We must remember, “A house divided shall not stand, (TOGETHER WE HAVE POWER AS ONE ) Empowering Community with Education:

The Poor People’s Campaign seeks to directly compel America to redress the policies that create and substantiate poverty, oppress the poor and deny people the right to live with dignity, respect, justice, equality and freedom.

By bringing people out of the shadows and taking them to the centers of decision-making, he would give the oppressed a voice in their destiny and hold political leaders accountable for their choices affecting impoverished individuals and families. This effort sought to eradicate poverty by creating livable wage jobs.to education and training opportunities, safer communities, housing development and quality healthcare solutions.

Action Plan:

TRAINING, EDUCATING, EMPOWERING to ELIMINATE POVERTY!
Working through our streets, jails, houses of worship, we will inform congregants of the very real difference they can make by stepping up and speaking out in their communities and to their elected officials.  We will participate with our partners on trips to governments and Sacramento so that our leaders can hear from the people whose lives are literally on the line. 312-794-5335  PRESIDENT MR JERRY ROBINSON  2001 S MICHIGAN CHICAGO IL http://poorpeoplescampaignppc.org/default.html
