History, Organization and Values of the Poor People’s Campaign | CONSPIRE 2021 | Day Two

About this sermon

In 1968 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King launched the original Poor People's Campaign with the goal of bringing the poor and dispossessed together across lines of division to lead a transformative movement for change. He saw how we had to move away from, "a thing-oriented society," toward society oriented around the value and dignity of all people. Today the US is home to 140 million poor and low-income people (43% of the population), representing every race, religion, age, geography, sexual orientation. Join leaders from today's Poor People Campaign to learn and discuss the history, organization, values, and ongoing activities and actions of today's Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. •Souls of Poor Folk Audit: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/the-souls-of-poor-folk-audit/ •Poor People's Moral Budget: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/poor-peoples-moral-budget/ •The Power of Power Voters: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/power-of-poor-voters/ •Get Involved with your PPC State Campaign: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/take-action/ This video series was a part of the CONSPIRE 2021, an interactive online event that featured conference presenters James Finley, Barbara Holmes, Jacqui Lewis, Brian McLaren, Richard Rohr, and Mirabai Starr from September 24-26, 2021.
