Join the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival in Des Moines for the 8th stop of the We Must Do M.O.R.E. national tour as we Mobilize, Organize, Register and Educate.
The tour stop in Iowa will culminate with a Mass Meeting on Wednesday, January 15th, 2020. The Mass Meeting will begin at 7:00 pm.
At the mass meeting, we will hear from community members 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.

The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is organizing a 25-state We Must Do MORE national tour from September 2019 to May 2020. This tour will lead into the Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington, where thousands of poor people and moral agents will gather at the nation’s capitol on June 20, 2020 to demonstrate their power.
We will demand the implementation of our Moral Agenda and call all people of conscience to engage in deeply moral civic engagement and voting that cares about poor and low-wealth people, the sick, immigrants, workers, the environment, people with disabilities, first nations, the LGBTQIA+ community, and peace over war.
Iowa is the eighth stop on this tour.
