We invite you to join us, along with other co-sponsors listed below, for a film screening of We Cried Power - the powerful new documentary film about the PoorPeople’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival (PPC). PPC is an initiative started by The Rev. Dr. William Barber, former head of the NCNAACP, to carry on the fusion anti-poverty work begun by Dr. Martin Luther King shortly before his assassination.

 

The film will be followed by a panel discussion facilitated by the The Rev. Lisa Fischbeck, Church of the Advocate, with Anna Richardswith, Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP President, Diane Robertson, Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP Political Action Chair,
and Jennifer Bremer, NC League of Women Voters State Board Member. To join the film screening and discussion, please contact Elizabeth [at] elizabethadams.com

We Cried Power tells the story of a bold new social movement to end poverty in the United States, led by Rev. Dr. William J. Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis. 140 million people in the United States are poor or low wealth. In the wealthiest society in human
history, nearly half of the population lives in poverty or is struggling to make ends meet and cannot afford a $400 emergency. This is the time to make economic and structural demands on our government to end the multiple pandemics of systemic racism and poverty and the militarized force that is used against us. Watch the trailer.

Even if you aren’t able to join us Sunday, we hope you will register for the Digital event - National Poor People’s Moral March on Washington on June 20, 2020. Please RSVP for June 20, 2020, a Digital Gathering. To volunteer with the PPC, email volunteers [at] poorpeoplescampaign.org
