The group also announced plans to march on the Mississippi state capitol on Saturday, March 2, as part of the national Poor People’s Campaign’s “Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Moral March on State House Assemblies,” a day of coordinated, simultaneous direct action in 30 state houses and in Washington, D.C.
In Mississippi, the march will start at 11am. Program starts at 12pm, “as we march and rally bringing the demands of poor and low-wealth people for living wages, healthcare, housing, education, environmental justice, an end to gun violence, and voting rights directly to our lawmakers.”
