Additional Updates

The March For Our Lives touched off from Jersey City Monday, July 19th with the launch of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign's Mobile "Bushville" tent city. As we marched through one of the most populated corridors in the county carrying billboards saying "Welcome to Bushville", we are reaching and talking to thousands of people everyday - with a message that we must take out country back because our lives depend on it.

We are poor and homeless, unemployed and uninsured and we will march everyday until the end of August for our lives. We will march to stop the war at home. As we go we are gathering human rights violations, organizing for our August "March for Our Lives" at the Republican National Convention, and registering and educating voters.

Please follow our route and help us organize to take our country back. Support the mobile "Bushville."
