While many will come out tomorrow to volunteer, those of us who are poor and advocates of economic justice and human rights will raise the need for action! It is not enough to talk about how evil the Trump administration is or how Harrisburg is just sitting by while more families cannot afford to live in Philadelphia or our country.

Puerto Rico continues to see half of its families without water or electricity.

Homeless addicts remain outside sick on opiates, in risk of freezing to death.

Kensington is home to the recent 197 election fraud in which four people have been indicted and will be seen before a Judge on January 22nd in criminal court.

Hunger is growing everywhere in our country and soon we will see massive cuts in Housing and health care.

Disabled people remain on waiting lists for years for social security disability without the emergency services needed now.

Yes, if King were alive today he would very much be sitting amongst the poor in Kensington figuring our how to lift up the poor themselves.

And build a muti-racial army of the poor.

The Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign will do just that. We will gather, build this army for economic justice and, come June 2018, march to Washington DC to Reclaim the Dream.
