The First UU Fellowship of Hunterdon County's Social Justice Committee is organizing a delegation to participate in the “Mass Poor People’s and Low-wage Workers Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls.” The March takes place Saturday, June 18.
According to organizers, it is to be a “generationally transformative and disruptive gathering of poor and low-wealth people“ aimed at “building power for an agenda that challenges the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy, and the false moral narrative of the religious nationalism.” There are three steps to attend.
1. Please, sign up for the march here. https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/june18
2. Important! Purchase a seat on a bus! The organizers are using a bus rideshare app called Rally Bus. (Rev. Seth was the first from our Fellowship to buy a seat.) If we sign up a total of 40 riders by June 11, we secure a bus to take us directly from the Old Stone Church, 1 Oak Summit Rd Frenchtown, NJ, early in the morning of June 18. Sign up for a seat here. https://rally.co/booking
3. In the event we do not meet the “40-person” number, Rally Bus refunds the fee. The cost is currently $75, and it rises after June 3. Kathleen Cosgrove and Peggy Gallos are inquiring about alternative transportation in the event we don’t meet the requirement for our own bus. Please add your name to this Rally Bus Contact List so we know who is coming and can contact you if we need to make alternative arrangements.
