The Campaign is uniting tens of thousands of people across the country to challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation, and the nation’s distorted morality.  Thank you for considering joining the Washington State Poor People’s Campaign. Together, we are shifting the narrative, building power, and impacting elections and policies. “Forward Together,  NOT ONE STEP BACK!”

Over the past several years, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has reached out to communities in more than 40 states across this nation. We have met with tens of thousands of people, witnessing the strength of their moral courage in trying times. We have gathered testimonies from hundreds of poor people and we have chronicled their demands for a better society. The following moral agenda expressed in these priorities is drawn from this deep engagement and commitment to these struggles of the poor and dispossessed.
