The Original Voices of the Poor People’s Campaign

From the voices of the original Poor People’s Campaign on the 55^th Anniversary (May 12^th, 2023) of the Sunday Mother’s Day March Throughout the Streets of Washington, DC, an Original Salute with love.

To the brave women warriors of the National Welfare Rights Organization and the allies that laid the foundation for the Poor People’s Campaign and the seed that rose unto the Sacred Land into Resurrection City. From the voice and heart from a Rainbow of Nations. Before Occupy Wall Street ever thought of creating something, we were invisible in the eyes of American “freedom” of press, of being poor, hungry, sick, in low-wage jobs, lack of training and unemployment, the right to organize unions, the lack of opportunity of education and bilingual education, the lack of health care, the rigid apartheid system, and the sickness of the caste system US.

It was paradise for the wealthy people in America and damned for the people of Earth. The sickness of war on Vietnam’s people. This was a Spring spirit of struggle 55 years ago, for all of us who dared to stand up against the wall of injustice, brutality, lies, and injustice against the Vietnamese people. And the cry for peace now.

And even now, 55 years later, history has repeated itself with the plague of economic hardships of millions of people in America: homelessness, food insecurity, and the mass of American apartheidism. Drug abuse, high suicide rates, and the Cold War mentality.

In the theater of war of billions of dollars for the war machine but not for social programs for the masses of American people. The Pharaoh;; of now, who has blinded himself with no end to the madness of war and the chants of people around the world are chanting, “Hey Joe Biden, how many mothers and children have you killed today?”

Give peace a chance.
