Over a year? I'd take it back a bit farther. At least to Ferguson, if not to the #PoorPeoplesCampaign #MoralMondays in NC
"I absolutely believe that there is no reason in the world that poverty should exist in the United States of America—the richest country in the world. There’s no excuse for it."

The Maryland #poorpeoplescampaign and Baltimore community as a whole have just lost another justice warrior --and impacted member-- Evangeline Diggs. For decades before PPC, Ms. Van, as she is affectionately known, fought for the rights of Baltimore residents. As she says, even though tired, we must keep on fighting. We love you, Ms. Van! Rest in Power! #fightpovertynotourseniors #forwardtogetherforever
MD PPC conveys news that saddens us enormously. As you may have already heard, our beloved David Mott has passed on from our planet; leaving a legacy to be proud of. He filled so many shoes w/the #PoorPeoplesCampaign.
While other orgs have already shared their memories of David, ours took time as Tri-Chair Mike Puskar was creating a video compilation, including previously unreleased footage of David performing "The Long Black Veil" in Rockville this very day, 12/20/23.
Expiring ACA tax credits put 22 million Americans at risk of major hikes to their health insurance premiums; average costs could rise sharply/double.
Democrats are ready to extend these tax credits, but some Republican support is needed.
GOP Senators who have expressed openness to extending the tax credits need to hear what impact this will have on their state/our country.
Everyone, call these Senators & share this action.

#RISEUP! and VOTE!
The #PoorPeoplesCampaign principles state "the need to organize at the state and local level," so it's important that people vote at the local level; Gaithersburg has an election this coming Tuesday, Nov 4, for the Mayor and 2 City Council seats.

While the PPC is also non-partisan & we cannot endorse specific candidates, our principles have us lift impacted leaders and support issues such as housing justice, food justice, & universal healthcare.
