On February 16, our solidarity committee for the WILPF Poor People's Campaign rally hosted a virtual meeting well attended by WILPF and featuring Rev Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the PPC, and Noam Back, our liaison from the campaign. Branch members from across the nation gathered, eager to hear the logistics of getting to Washington DC on June 18. We will represent WILPF in this campaign to unite people to challenge the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism.
