We want each of you visiting BeRightThere.info to develop understandings that inform your own opinions and beliefs about what matters in these difficult times. We hope to prompt you to consider new perspectives, have thoughtful discussion, and reason together about ideas that matter. Because we fully support the North Carolina NAACP and how it uses concepts of intersectionality to work towards advances that will benefit black people and society as a whole, we spotlight their 14-Point People’s Agenda.

    Poor People's Campaign

    The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will necessarily be a multi-year undertaking. The Summer of 2017 through the Spring of 2018 will be used as the public launching of the Campaign. By engaging in highly publicized civil disobedience and direct action over a 6-week period in at least 25 states and the District of Columbia during the Spring of 2018, the Campaign will force a serious national examination of the enmeshed evils of systemic racism, poverty, militarism and environmental devastation during a key election year while strengthening and connecting informed and committed grassroots leadership in every state, increasing their power to continue this fight long after June 2018.
