Sacramento: March & Rally for Voting Rights, Poverty Justice, Living Wage & More w/ CA PPC

Eighteen million people in California are living with no or low income. Come on out with your demands - living wages now; quality housing, education and health care for all; guaranteed care income; end deadly systemic poverty created by policy violence.

The California Poor People's Campaign will be joining other states for a day of action to call for action to address the needs and concerns of 140 million people including 18 million in CA, poor, no/low income wealth. Poverty is the 4th leading cause of death in the US.

We won't be silent anymore!

At noon Pacific time the CA PPC will be in Sacramento for a short march and rally at the
CA statehouse. It's an all call, y'all. Bring your folks, your banners and signs, wear your t-shirts.

Our demands:

- Transform the war economy into a peace economy

- Uproot systemic poverty and racism

- Prioritize care for the people and the planet

- Stop the lie that poor people are to blame for our poverty and there's not enough for everyone to be housed, have quality food, health care and education

Help us send a message to the legislators responsible for the unrelenting policy violence that's causing unnecessary suffering and early death. See you in the streets.
