Poor People's Campaign

Hundreds of activists around the U.S. were arrested yesterday as a 40 day campaign to implement the demands and visions of Martin Luther King began on the 50th Anniversary of the original Poor People's Campaign. The campaign will highlight and educate issues about civil rights, poverty, and public infrastructure and ask why in the U.S. there are 140 million people low income and suffering the pillages of a corporate state? It's demanding a return to public investment and communities and an end to the culture of violence and war. Also emphasis of children, women, and people with disabilities.

Lets face the facts,

Martin Luther King set out to change an ideology that blacks were equal and black people did get equal rights. However that ideology will always remain the same that black people will always be looked at with fear and disdain.

In many ways we are almost back where we started from

It sure does look like it.

My point exactly

The poor are always oppressed by power. political campaigns have sprung up on behalf of the people during the democracy party in sight. but the poor society never gets their rights so they have to take action in demanding their rights from the authorities

It’s high time equity begins; but when I think about the present state of leadership 🤦🏼‍♂️
