 We arrived in Little Rock just in time for a 5:00 PM rally at the Governor's Mansion. In front of a statue of the president from Arkansas who!
signed the welfare reform bill, we stood proudly with our "Economic Human Rights" banner. Joining us at the rally were three groups from the community and supporters from as far away as Kansas City. Felicia Davidson was the principal organizer who spoke at the rally. Felicia works with poor people in Little Rock through the Women's Project, and also is on the executive committee of the North-South Dialogue, developing a movement of poor people led by poor people. We also heard from women working with poor people in the areas of domestic violence and immigration. We welcomed the personal testimony of Danny Alexander, a longtime organizer in Kansas City around poverty issues. After the rally the bus riders jumped back on the bus for a stormy overnight drive to Louisville, Kentucky.
