URGENT
FUNDRAISING APPEAL!
SUPPORT GLOBAL WOMEN’S STRIKE NETWORK DELEGATION TO SACRAMENTO
TO TAKE PART IN WEEK 5 OF THE POOR PEOPLE’S CAMPAIGN
Everybody’s Got the
Right To Live: Living Wages, Jobs, Income, Housing, Education!
On June 11th, multi-racial
grassroots campaigners with the Global Women’s Strike Northern and SoCal and
International Women’s Strike/LA networks will again travel to Sacramento,
joining thousands of others across the U.S for the Week 5 action called by
The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for a Moral Revival. On
June 11th, in over 30 state capitols people will rise up around
the theme Everybody’s Got the Right To Live:
Living Wages, Jobs, Income, Housing, Education. In
California a rally and press conference at the State Capitol in Sacramento
will begin at 12:30, followed by a civil disobedience direct action.
Our deep appreciation to those who
donated to help get our grassroots delegation to the May 14th
action – our 40 member multiracial
delegation of women, men and 2 children (above) joined hundreds of other
Californians taking action, along with people in other state capitols, to end
the poverty of women, children and people with disabilities. We were also
part of the powerful PPC Week 3 action on May 29th
protesting The War Economy, Militarism and the Proliferation of Gun Violence.
We urgently need your help to raise an additional $1000 to cover our costs to
return to Sacramento for the June 11th
action, including transportation;
housing; food and water; child and elder care; first aid and rally materials
(i.e. flyers, poster board, markers). We’re committed to making it possible
for all who want to take part in our delegation to again come to Sacramento
no matter their financial situation.
The Poor People’s Campaign carries forward the work of Dr. Martin Luther
King, please support our effort to take part in this historic national
movement bringing people together to end poverty, racism, the war economy and
ecological devastation. If any funds raised are left over, they will help
delegation members participate in the last weeks of the 40 days of action,
including the final rally in Washington DC.
Thank you for your support and solidarity!
