As you know the UUA and the UUMA are endorsers of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. (To see UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray announce the UUA participation, click here.)

As we head into the Campaign’s season of weekly mass non-violent direct action from May 14th through June 21st in Washington, DC and 32 state capitals (and that list is growing!), culminating with a massive rally on June 23rd in the nation’s capital (we will connect at General Assembly in some way as well), the Poor People’s Campaign is inviting all sponsoring denominations to invite our clergy and lay leaders to:

A Webinar on the Moral/Theological Basis for Nonviolent Moral Fusion Direct Action featuring Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis – Thursday, March 22, 4-5pm ET.

Here is the link to RSVP for the Webinar: https://goo.gl/UkPRCo – Please share and invite your lay leaders to attend this multi-faith webinar as well.

The Campaign is also asking for commitments to get involved and take direct action in Washington, DC (preferably one of the first two Mondays, May 14th & May 21st) and once in your state capital if possible. They have set up a link for each denomination so that we can track how many of us will be doing so.  We are also working on housing options for folks coming to DC.

Please sign up on the UU link here to pledge to participate and possibly take direct action and we will send more information! Training will be provided for national and state direct actions.
