June 20th Moral March On Washington Takes On Systemic Poverty



Sonali Kolhatkar speaks with Pastor Alvin Jackson about systemic poverty in the United States.

On June 20, 2020, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will hold a “Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington.”

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, this event, which touches upon five key issues, will be held entirely online.

As part of a week-long collaboration with Free Speech TV we’ll be presenting coverage of this historic event for five days leading up to it and today we’ll focus on how the Poor People’s Campaign will take on systemic poverty in the US.

You can RSVP for the June 20th Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington at www.June2020.org. Also tune into to Free Speech TV on June 20th to watch the entire event live starting at 7 am Pacific Time, 10 am Eastern.
