In front of the White House — 16th Street NW — at Black Lives Matter Plaza
The streets become our classroom for democracy.
On July 27, faith leaders, organizers, and everyday people will gather in front of the White House for a Moral Monday Public Pulpit — and to launch 100 Days of Mobilization and 1,000 Marches to the Polls in Every State.
This is not a rally that ends when the last speaker steps down. It is a beginning. From Black Lives Matter Plaza, the work moves outward into all fifty states and the District of Columbia, where the real distance between a person and their ballot gets measured in miles, in hours off work, in ID requirements, in closed polling sites.
What We Are Calling For
- Ending Immoral War
- Protecting and Expanding Voting Rights
- Ensuring Health Care and Living Wages
- Protecting Our Immigrant Communities
- Guaranteeing Equal Protection Under the Law
These five are not a wish list. They are interlocking. You cannot fund endless war and fund living wages. You cannot suppress the vote and guarantee equal protection. Pull one thread and the others move.
