June 18, 2022: Washington, DC - JLC was proud to join with many others, from across the USA, at the Mass Poor Peoples and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls, where we stood in solidarity with the 140 million poor and low wage workers demanding justice!

There are millions of poor and struggling people and communities in this country. We marched to demand a living wage, affordable health care, decent housing and a democratic society that guarantees dignity and respect for all.
During the march, hosted by the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, we came together in Washington, D.C., with state leaders, faith communities, moral allies and partnering organizations to not only take substantive action, but also to make our voices heard and demand an end to systemic inequality in all its forms.

We joined in declaring an ongoing, committed moral movement to:
* shift the moral narrative;
* build power;
* make real policies to fully address poverty and low wealth from the bottom up.

The United States of America must live up to its possibilities and promises so every person living here can live a life of dignity and respect.
