SPREAD THE WORD
America is home to 140 million poor and low-income people who are living without health insurance, without fair wages, without clean water, and without the basic necessities we need to survive. But together we can do M.O.R.E. — Mobilizing, Organizing, Registering, Educating people for a movement that votes. Poor and low-income people have the power to change the political landscape in this nation. We must vote this November like our lives depend on it ... because they do.
That's why on September 14th, 2020, religious leaders, politicians, social justice activists, actors, and musicians came together for a National Moral Monday Mass Meeting and Teach-In. Millions of people watched as we shared tools on voter empowerment, engagement, registration and protection. Now you can get those powerful tools, too, and help spread the word about the importance of voting in the upcoming elections.

The 140 million poor and low-income people are the key to changing the political calculus in this country. That’s why the Poor People’s Campaign has launched a mass organizing project for the 100 days before the election so that we can do M.O.R.E. — Mobilizing, Organizing, Registering, Educating. Together, we can create a powerful movement of people who will vote for a moral agenda that will transform our nation.
Over the next three months thousands of communities are coming together to build an electorate of poor and low-income people of all races, religions, sexualities, and geographies to vote and organize for a moral agenda to transform our nation. We’re coming together from the coast to the heartland; from Appalachia to urban centers; in districts that are devastated by voter suppression and racist gerrymandering; and everyplace in between. We’re rolling out an expansive effort of base-building, voter registration and protection, town halls and forums, and nationally coordinated days of action.
The Poor People’s Campaign is non-partisan but deeply political. For years we’ve demanded nothing less than a reconstruction of society around the needs of the poor and dispossessed. To make that possible now, we must bring the agenda of the poor front and center in this election cycle and beyond.
A MOVEMENT THAT VOTES
We recently released a report that shows how a small uptick in the number of poor and low-income voters will change the political landscape of America. That means we have the opportunity to provide health care, jobs, wages, housing, food, water and other basic necessities to those of us who need them most. Use our tool to get help with voter registration, opt in for election reminders, receive absentee ballot assistance, & join the Poor People’s Campaign in building a long-term movement that will transform the nation.
JOIN THE WE MUST DO M.O.R.E. CAMPAIGN!
From Alaska to Arkansas, the Carolinas to California, Mississippi to Maine, Kansas to Kentucky, the Bronx to the Border, Appalachian hollers to Apache sacred lands, people are coming together to organize our moral outrage against systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the war economy, and the false moral narrative of religious nationalism into a powerful moral fusion movement that votes!
We believe that if the rejected millions — those without health insurance, without living wages, without clean water, without voting protections — unite, we can build a new electorate to organize and vote for a moral agenda to transform our nation. Are you with us?
