Segment Six

Jan’s Wanderings — Poor Peoples March

Janice Walz    

            The Poor People’s Campaign.  50.5% of New Yorkers are poor or low-income. Our state government must be judged by its impact on the majority of New York’s residents who are poor and dispossessed. But the budget proposals currently being debated in Albany don’t come close to addressing the crises our communities are facing.

            On March 18, the New York Poor People’s Campaign will take action across the state, showing that the poor, activists, and faith leaders of all races and in all regions are united in demanding our state government change course and prioritize ending systemic racism, poverty, militarism and ecological devastation.
