Due to a much higher level
of Homeland Security then originally anticipated, the Poor People's Economic
Human Rights Campaign is preparing a series of organizing and human rights
activities leading up to the establishment of a mobile "Bushville"
tent city. They need everyone's support during this time of overwhelming
law enforcement interference in order to keep their message clear.
"What we're really suffering
from, aside from being silenced, is that we're dealing with serious human
rights violations like living without food, housing, employment, and health
insurance in the United States of America."
- Cheri Honkala
National Spokesperson for the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign
The Campaign is preparing for
a series of activities including impromptu demonstrations, food distributions,
human rights monitoring and documentation, voter education and registration.
This is all in preparation for their "March For Our Lives" at
4pm on August 30th in front of the United Nations.
WHAT: Join the Mobile "Bushville"
WHEN: Monday, July 19th, 10am
WHERE: 420 Grand Street
