The 21st Century Poor People’s Campaign

From the Advancement Project: The Poor People’s Campaign seeks to directly compel America to redress the policies that create and substantiate poverty, oppress the poor and deny people the right to live with dignity, respect, justice, equality and freedom. In March 2007, distinguished Cal. community leaders formed a coalition consisting of community based organizations, businesses, and individuals to respond to the devastating impact poverty was having on communities of color.
