The Moral March on Washington, sponsored by the Poor People’s Campaign, took place in D.C. on June 18, with thousands at the rally on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Drawing on the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights struggles of the 20th century, the Third Reconstruction is a revival of our constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the 140 million poor and low-income people in the country are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation.
