LivesOverLuxury March on the Dnc2020

On opening day of the Milwaukee Democratic National Convention, August 17, 2020, 4pm CST, we want to amass the largest #PoorPeoplesArmy in the belly of the beast… to fight for humanity for those of us here at home and those abroad. The children of Africa, of Venezuela, of Puerto Rico and Palestine (and the list goes on) are counting on us! Can we count on you to enlist today?

These last 4 years have been challenging to say the least. For the last few decades, the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign #PPEHRC has always organized the largest marches on the openings of both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Now, with all the serious crises that are happening in the country and the world, what we do when we have the world’s attention (on opening days of these conventions) becomes even more important. We need to use that time with the world’s media to talk about crucial issues for humanity: the extinction of our planet, poverty and homelessness, community violence and police brutality, hunger and threats to our food and water, and the elimination of war.

This year’s Democratic Convention will be taking place in Milwaukee WI, August 17-20, 2020. The PPEHRC has been busy trying to hold Bootcamps across the country, and rapidly build a massive Poor People’s Army. See more details here: http://economichumanrights.org/poor-peoples-army/. This is not a new kind of organization, rather it is a nonviolent army of the poor, similar to peasant armies in other parts of the world.
Because we know you know the seriousness of all this, we are asking for your assistance. We intend to go to Milwaukee, WI, August 17, 2020, and demand that both political parties begin to prioritize #LivesOverLuxury. We are #coming2getour67cents of every tax dollar that is spent on war and occupation, to put towards the poor, the planet, and to preserve humanity.
