Acknowledgements
(from the tribunal program)

There could never be enough room to acknowledge all the people who have helped with the Economic Human Rights Campaign, New Freedom Bus Tour, March for Our Lives, and Economic Human Rights Tribunal.

We would like to thank everyone who has worked to make this campaign a success. We have been blessed to work with tremendous people across this country and around the world. So many people have greeted, taught, encouraged, fed, housed, healed, and joined us during this tour. Thanks to all those who have researched and collected documentation, helped with press, and done everything under the sun to make this tour and tribunal happen.

Special thanks go to the staff and volunteers of the Urban Justice Center who helped organize today in New York City.

Special thanks to Joy Butts of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union and Poor People's Embassy who spearheaded the collection of human rights documentation, and to Alix Webb who managed the office while we were on the Bus. We love you, Joy and Alix!

And most importantly, thank you to the incredible bus full of Freedom Riders who rode across this country visiting poor communities, listening to heart-breaking stories, and keeping alive a vision of freedom from unemployment, hunger, and homelessness in the U.S.A.
