Join us as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision around ending poverty in America.

The brothers and sisters of Moving Forward (an association of Planting Justice Staff) are teaming up with Community Check Cashing to create space on this sacred day around economic justice and empowerment in our community.

Meet us at Community Check Cashing

We will read excerpts of Dr. King’s speeches around poverty eradication,
enjoy a brief meditation and hear from members of the community around their journey to regaining control of their finances and economic resources.

Refreshments including
green smoothies and healing herbal teas provided by Planting Justice urban gardens and students of Planting Justice.

Generous support provided by Community Check Cashing, America’s only not-for-profit check cashing spot designed to help move low income individuals and families out of poverty.
