Vermont Poor People's Campaign Moral Assembly at the State House, Tuesday, April 4th, 12:00-1:00pm
You are invited to join the VT Poor People's Campaign in gathering to: center the voices of poor and directly impacted Vermonters as many pandemic era relief measures end this spring; honor the true legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on this anniversary of his assassination; inspire our lawmakers and policymakers with moral courage and needed perspective; and keep building a network of people and organizations in our state working to value human needs over profit, and to bring an end to unjust, entrenched economic and social systems that harm us all.
This Moral Assembly coincides with the holy periods of Ramadan, Holy Week, and the start of Passover calling people of faith into greater commitment to collective justice and liberation.
The assembly will be followed by a community meal at Christ Episcopal Church (64 State St) from 1:00-2:00pm. To-go meals will be available for those observing Ramadan and breaking fast in the evening as well as anyone who is unable to stay and eat. In case of severe weather, we will gather at Christ Church at noon.
