An organizing tour of North Carolina’s congressional districts to turn out the vote of poor and low-income people continues next week with a virtual stop in Fayetteville and an in-person program in Elizabeth City.

A diverse group of national, state and local faith leaders whose various traditions make up millions of congregants will join the Poor People’s Campaign National Call for Moral Revival on Thursday for an urgent briefing to urge Congress to act before the midterms on critical moral and social issues that directly impact millions of vulnerable neighbors.

The numbers don’t lie, and they show that poor and low-wage low wealth people have the power to change North Carolina’s political landscape when they vote.
