The Poor People’s Campaign is a continuation of the work that Dr. Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference started in 1967. Rev. Dr. King said what good is it to desegregate lunch counters when people can’t afford to buy their lunch? Rev. Dr. King and the multi-ethnic coalition of leaders from the Puerto Rican movement, the Mexican American Movement, the movement of poor Whites in Appalachia and the American Indian movement wanted to hold the federal government accountable to solve the problem of poverty and inequality.

Still today, poverty kills people every day in the richest country ever to exist.
