With the goals of demanding living wages, voting rights, and health care and fighting systemic poverty and racism, and ending the war economy, militarism and genocide, the Wisconsin Poor People’s Campaign will host a “National Call for Moral Revival” Rally on Saturday at the Wisconsin State Capitol starting at 10:30 a.m.

A Free Palestine contingent will also be joining Saturday’s rally calling for a ceasefire and an end to the United States’ weapons funding for Israel.

The Poor People’s Campaign, which will be visiting statehouses across the country on Saturday, is committed to “lifting up and deepening the leadership of those most affected by systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, and ecological devastation and to building unity across lines of division.”
