Oregon Poor People's Campaign - Metanoia Peace Community hasn't added a story.
For the last year, poor and impacted people have been organizing and
building power in more than 40 states across the country. In Oregon,
we have been hosting Poor People's Hearings, canvassing, engaging in
political education and studying direct action campaigns, developing
curriculum for Freedom Schools that will be launched across the state
later this year, and creating pathways for folks to organize in rural
and urban communities across the state.
This June, we will head to Washington DC for the 2019 Poor
People's Congress to join delegations from 40 or more other states to :
- Launch the Poor People’s Campaign Moral and Constitutional Budget, which will assign hard numbers to the economic and social benefits of implementing our Campaign’s demands
- Challenge the 2020 candidates to take up our demands and hear directly from the impacted people leading this Campaign in the states
- Convene our first National Freedom School to train Campaign members and supporters in fusion politics and moral movement building so they can make an even bigger impact in their states
- Hold congressional hearings with testimonies delivered by impacted Campaign members and leaders
The Oregon Poor People's Campaign is raising funds to send an 8 person delegation to the Poor People's Congress. The Oregon delegation consists of folks from rural and urban communities, most with lived experience with homelessness, who are working to build relational power across the state and the country.
Funds will be received via PayPal through our fiscal sponsor,
The Metanoia Peace Community. Your support will help pay for travel,
food, supplies, incidentals, and lost wages for low and no wage
workers. During payment processing, you will be asked if you want to
donate additional funds to cover processing fees. These fees to not
directly benefit the Oregon PPC, they support the fundraising
platform FundRazr, which allows us to run this campaign for free.
The Oregon PPC does incur processing fees from PayPal. If you wish
to make a donation without fees, please send us a check to Metanoia
Peace Community, 2116 NE 18th Ave, Portland, OR 97212, with Poor
People's Congress in the memo line.
We are also soliciting donations of airline miles, especially
for United Airlines, Southwest, or Alaska Airlines. Please email us
(oregon@poorpeoplescampaign.org) if you have
miles to share.
