commemorating the 50th anniversary of the historic 1963 March for Freedom and
Jobs led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by
MARCHING 41 MILES FROM
BALTIMORE, MD
TO WASHINGTON, D.C., on Sat., May 11,
which is the 45th anniversary weekend of the Poor People’s March
Dr. King was to lead before he was assassinated.
When the march arrives in
Washington, there will be a PEOPLE’S POWER

the demands listed above as well as other demands. Help “occupy”
this anniversary and turn it into a rallying call to revive the real spirit of
Dr. King that’s so desperately needed today.
There will be vans for those who are
not able to walk the full distance. If you cannot participate through the whole
weekend of May 11 and May 12, come and participate in part of it.
THE 2013 POOR
PEOPLE’S MARCH was initiated
by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Baltimore Chapter and the
Baltimore People’s Power Assembly. It has been endorsed by hundreds of
organizations and activists from around the country.
