Richmond, California— Join the Poor People’s Campaign for Art-Build featuring local Bay Area artist David Solnit at David Solnit’s studio. At the Art- Build community members will create colorful banners and signs for our upcoming We Must Do MORE Tour: Mobilizing, Organizing, Registering, Educating visit in Oakland and San Francisco on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

David Solnit is a climate justice, global justice, Anti-war, arts, and direct-action organizer, an author, a puppeteer, and a trainer from the Bay Area. He is co-founder of Courage to Resist, co-author of Army of None. He is co-founder of Art and Revolution, using culture, art, giant puppets and theater in mass mobilizations, for popular education and as an organizing tool.

At the March and Mass Meeting, we will hear from people directly impacted by systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the corrupt moral narrative. We will also hear from Rev. Barber and Rev. Theoharis, Co-Chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

This nine-month, 22-state tour is the lead-up to the Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington, where thousands of poor people and moral agents will gather at the nation’s capital on June 20, 2020 to demand the implementation of our Moral Agenda and call all people of conscience to engage in deeply moral civic engagement and voting that uplifts the needs of the most impacted–poor and low-wealth people, the sick, immigrants, workers, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQIA+ community
