SUMMARY:NYS Healthcare & Housing Day of Action – People's Needs\, Not Corporate Greed!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Healthcare and Housing Day of Action: People’s Needs\, Not Corporate Greed! \n\n\n\nWHEN: Tuesday\, Jan. 14\, 10am – 4pm \n\n\n\nWHERE: Meet at the Madison Ave. end of the Empire State Concourse at 10am. Rally in War Room of the NY State Capitol at 11:30am. \n\n\n\nTRANSPORTATION: Bus transportation is available from NYC\, Buffalo\, Rochester and Syracuse!

Corporate greed and lobbying dollars were unable to stop policy which helped the many instead of the wealthy few. However\, we have so much more to do in order to ensure that every New Yorker can access human rights like housing and healthcare! \n\n\n\nRight now: \n\n\n\n50.5% of New Yorkers are poor or low incomeOver 1 million New Yorkers are uninsured\, and millions more have plans that would bankrupt them when faced with a medical emergencyOver half of low income tenants are currently paying more than 50% of their income in rent.On any given night\, over 90\,000 New Yorkers are homeless.\n\n\n\nJoin the NYS Poor People’s Campaign on January 14th – the first full week of legislative session – to demand that our elected officials prioritize people over profits in 2020. \n\n\n\nWe cannot accept the false narrative that there are no resources to provide New Yorkers with healthcare and housing. Our state has immense wealth concentrated in too few hands – and our elected officials have failed to take any meaningful steps to fix New York’s inequality\, which is the worst in the nation. We know the truth is that NYS has favored billionaires at the expense of the people of this state\, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We must insist that our elected officials fight poverty\, not the poor\, by passing legislation that guarantees housing and healthcare for all!   \n\n\n\nWe need to #PassNYHealth\, #GoodCause\, and #HSS so we can have #MedicareForAll and a #NYHomesGuarantee! \n\n\n\nThe Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is bringing together people across the country who are organizing to build a broad and deep national moral movement — led by the poor\, impacted\, clergy and moral agents and reflecting the great moral teachings — to unite our country from the bottom up.Learn more about the campaign here: nysppc.org

SUMMARY:Des Moines\, IA | Moral March on Debate
DESCRIPTION:The Poor People’s Campaign Demands a Full Presidential Debate on Poverty: Saving the Heart and Soul of Our Democracy \n\n\n\nAlthough the Poor People’s Campaign issued a challenge to candidates on both sides of the aisle and 9 presidential candidates vowed to push for a debate on poverty at the Poor People’s Moral Action Congress\, it’s been 6 months\, 20 hours of debates in 2019\, and 28 debates since 2016 – there still remain 140 million poor and low wealth people in this country and no debate nor serious political discussion or action on poverty. \n\n\n\nOne week from today\, come join the Poor People’s Campaign as we challenge candidates and organizers to make good on their promise to hold a minimum of 1 primetime televised debate in both the primary and the general elections on poverty and the interlocking issues of systemic racism\, ecological devastation\, militarism and the war economy\, and the distorted moral narrative of Christian Nationalism. We can’t allow another debate to go by or election season to continue without putting the issues facing the American people at the center.  \n\n\n\nMeet at 1st Christian Church – Des Moines at 4:30pm Moral March on Debate at 4:45pm Press Conference at 5:00pm \n\n\n\nHear from poor people\, moral leaders\, and clergy from Iowa and across the country about how the poor are the most impacted by climate chaos\, war\, the lack of health care\, & low wage jobs. And join a fusion movement rising up to save the soul of our democracy and this world.  \n\n\n\nOur deep love of the 140 million people poor or low-wealth people (43% of Americans) in this county\, with 1.1 million poor and low-wealth people living in Iowa\, calls the Poor People’s Campaign to action. We will not let another presidential debate take place without furthering our call for a full debate on poverty!  \n\n\n\nRSVP for this event! \n\n\n\nShare this event on Facebook!
