What do we need?

PEOPLE'S POWER

You are invited to a planning meeting

Saturday 3 pm

April 13th

Solidarity Center

147 W. 24th St. } 2nd Fl. }Manhattan

We will discuss the People's Power Assembly Movement; Worker Assemblies, Student & Youth Assemblies and the May 11th Baltimore to Washington D.C. March to commemorate the 45th year since the 1968 Poor Peoples Campaign and to ignite a new Poor People's Campaign.

We are marching because:

Police brutality, mass incarcerations and deportations are growing

Poverty is deepening; people need jobs, not jails

We must renew Dr. King's call for jobs or income now'

and demand that the federal government:

1) bailout the people, not the banks;

2) provide a massive works projects progam to put the people back to work; and

3) through Executive Order place a national moratorium on home foreclosures.

FUND EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE & HUMAN NEEDS, NOT WAR & OCCUPATION

It is urgent that we reclaim Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy and begin a new revolution to ignite a people's movement for not only civil rights but human rights.

The Occupy movement inspired many, but the 1968 Poor Peoples Campaign in Washington D.C. went beyond other heroic examples in labor history, and was one of the first occupations.' Let's bring the movement together.

Join us as we discuss the struggles against police brutality; for immigrant rights; against racism, sexism and anti-lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender discrimination. Join us as we talk about and plan for this historic beginning to a new struggle for human rights:
