Illinois Poor People’s Campaign in Chicago on June 18

Six weeks of moral fusion direct action will culminate with a 6pm solidarity rally and march with the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless starting at the former tent city site at Wilson & Lake Shore Drive on Monday, June 18, The interfaith justice revival will follow at 7pm at People’s Church of Chicago (941 W Lawrence), where we will recognize those who participated in direct actions in Springfield, send off a delegation to the national rally in DC, and launch our voter activation campaign.  Rami Nashashibi of Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) and others will speak; there will be music, and much more… We hope to fill all 1200 seats at People’s Church, and to live stream the revival on Facebook Live!
