On Saturday, March 2 at 11 a.m. the Poor People’s Campaign will be holding coordinated assemblies at capital state houses in more than 30 states, including Boston. The Cathedral Church of St. Paul (138 Tremont Street) in Boston will serve as a welcoming and warming place before and after the assembly.
The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is a faith-based movement to end the interrelated injustices separating people from achieving justice and mercy for all of humanity and creation. The 2022 Diocesan Convention resolved to support and stand with the movement. The March 2 event will provide an opportunity to do so and will be a public demonstration of the baptismal commitment to strive for justice and respect the dignity of every human being.
Event details and registration can be found here. Read a letter from the bishops commending the event here (also attached as a PDF below).
There are many ways to support this campaign. The Massachusetts Episcopal Network for the Poor People’s Campaign (MAPPC@gmail.com), which is working to connect local Episcopalians to the Poor People’s Campaign movement and to foster a supportive community among those doing justice work in the Dioceses of Massachusetts, is happy to provide resources. For additional information, contact the Very Rev. Amy McCreath, Dean, Cathedral Church of St. Paul (amccreath@diomass.org) or Martha Gardner, Missioner for Networking and Formation (mgardner@diomass.org).
