March On Harrisburg Speaking Tour/Training for Poor People’s Campaign—February 28, Reading
February 28, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Adam Eichen, co-author with Frances Moore Lappe of Daring Democracy: Igniting Power, Meaning, and Connection for the America We Want, will be joining MarchOnHarrisburg for a speaking tour and democracy training across Pennsylvania. The forum will include a speech from Eichen, MarchOnHarrisburg Executive Director Rabbi Michael Pollack, and other MarchOnHarrisburg organizers.
Additional organizers from the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival may be added. MarchOnHarrisburg has signed onto Rev. William Barber’s Poor People’s Campaign, a 6-week national campaign that will engage in nonviolent civil disobedience simultaneously at 25 State Capitol buildings across the country, intending to launch a moral revival in our national political debate. After the speakers, there will be a citizen lobbying training on our anti-corruption, pro-democracy bills. We will also be providing training and organizational infrastructure on how to participate in the Poor People’s Campaign and/or participate in nonviolent civil disobedience during the Poor People’s Campaign.
Please attend, share, and let’s #endPAcorruption
Date: Wednesday, February 28, 7 – 10pm.
