Join us for M.O.R.E Arts Unleashed, a music and spoken word concert to inspire all to Mobilize, Organize, Register and Educate people for the movement that votes!
Music feeds the soul of social justice movements. It inspires us; motivates us and challenges us to take the next steps toward a more just society.
With that in mind, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral holds M.O.R.E Arts Unleashed to inspire, motive and challenge people to vote around an agenda that lifts up the voices and lives of poor and low-income people.
Performers include Grammy-nominated Joe Troop, whose song “A Plea to the U.S. Government to Fully Fund the Postal Service” went viral and garnered hundreds of thousands of signatures to save the USPS; and HuDost, a Kentucky-based duo whose song “Our Words Will Be Louder” is being featured at U2’s online conference this month. Other performers include Theomusicologist, Yara Allen, Sauuda Eshe', Freddy Greene "Street Genie" and the NC Justice Band (Bakru Hunsel, Eric “Bobo” Broadway, Gary McCormick, and Rony Thomas), Shyrl Uzzell, Angela Coley, Catina Rosemond, Zemer Lexie Nuell, and Petrina “Trina Thoughtz” Bryant, all of North Carolina; Matthew David of Oregon; Lu Aya (Peace Poet) and Rev. Kazimir Brown of California; B. Soleil of Belize, Raina Sokolov-Gonzales, Charon Hribar of NY, Brian Farrow of the DMV, and the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

“More than 3,000 people have now been trained and are contacting over 2 million poor and low-income infrequent voters in 8 key states to move them to the polls! If just 1-19% more of these people vote in this election than did in 2016, they have the power to fundamentally shift the election.” -Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II

Join us for a special Instagram Live Moral Monday led by GenNOW students and young adults in the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Young people are rising up to say that our time is now and that we will not be silent anymore! We will continue the massive call-in to stop McConnell’s Misery, Meanness and Mayhem and call each other to vote like never before.
Take action by calling now: bit.ly/callmcconnell
The program will include testimonies, spoken word and art from young people directly impacted by systemic racism, poverty and their interlocking injustices. They will be joined by PPC co-chairs Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis. Youth leaders will speak to why it is important to not only vote in this moment but to organize and mobilize in the midst of so many injustices.
You can tune in on Instagram by going to www.instagram.com/poorpeoplescampaign or you can go to vote.poorpeoplescampaign.org to watch.

How Propel And Vote.org Helped Register 60,000 SNAP Beneficiaries To Vote
Jimmy Chen figured his Fresh EBT app, which reaches 4 million SNAP users, would be an efficient way to contact households about registering to vote.
