Comments: I read the following Op Ed in my local paper (the Davis Enterprise) this morning about Earth Day, honoring leaders who spent their life working to end poverty, racism, militarism, ecological devastation and calls on us to join the Poor People's Campaign. The aim of the campaign is to build a fusion movement. Acknowledging the validity of the many issues and “silos” we are each committed to, they are calling people to act together to build a people-centered, transformative movement for systemic change and to fully realize economic, environmental and social justice based on civil and human rights, and on recognizing the rights of nature.
My colleague Carey Sipp has mentioned this campaign to me and in reading this article I see the power and hope for the campaign and I hope that the Campaign organizers embed ACEs science and a trauma-informed lens into the campaign.
I encourage you to read the entire Op Ed HERE
