Poor People's Campaign
​A National Call for Moral Revival
​NY Poor People's Campaign (newyork@poorpeoplescampaign.org)

On Monday May 14, over 400 people joined the New York Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival to launch the largest wave of nonviolent civil disobedience in US history. This action kicks off our six-week season of nonviolent direct action in New York.

For the first week, the focus was on child poverty, women in poverty, LGBTQ+ people, and people with disabilities. Monday’s actions in 37 capitals nationwide came as the Trump administration pushes work requirements for SNAP recipients and seeks to cut $7 billion from a child healthcare program.  
Here is part of the picture in New York that was lifted up:
  • 61 percent of New York's children are poor or low-income (compared to 52 percent nationally).
  • Women in New York are paid 72 cents for every dollar a white man earns. For Latina women, it is 55 cents and for Black women, 67 cents.
  • While about 10 percent of youth are LGBTQ, they make up 40 percent of the homeless youth population.
  • The unemployment rate among people with disabilities is around 70 percent.
Somebody's hurting our people, and it's gone on far too long, and we won't be silent anymore.

        Join next Monday for Week 2 in Albany!
​
The theme next week (May 20-26) is Linking Systemic Racism and Poverty: Voting Rights, Ending Mass Incarceration, Justice for Immigrants and Indigenous Communities, and Ending Islamophobia.
These are critical issues throughout our communities. For example - Black New Yorkers are incarcerated at a rate 8 times that of White New Yorkers, and over 99,000 people have been deported from our state since 2003.

"Jesus said wherever my disciples reside, I will always be with you."  "My holy spirit will forever abide with you. I am the source of your life."  Your healer, your source of strength, and your comforter.  Sharing the blessings.
 
Friends of West Center, we are fast approaching a time in our spiritual life that demands that we look at who we are, and what we want to become.  
We may have been shackled at some point in our lives, but here we are, still breathing, but needing to know that we have to wake up each day with a promise and determination to do something new - to break free from whatever has held us back.  Let us restore and rebuild that something new.  

Sharing the blessing. 
Reverend Erv
