Thank you to all our new friends out there hitting us up asking how to support or how to get involved, it means the world! We’ll have more ways to engage and support soon, for now, we could use everyone’s help recovering from our 90 mi march from the RNC in Milwaukee to the DNC in Chicago and our weekend encampment in Humboldt park and march on both conventions 😮💨. TLDR: Just hit the 🔗🔝
All our resources are prioritized to helping poor and houseless folks in our communities so we really had to rely on the generosity of amazing friends, supporters and kind strangers to pull off the march safely. We also scraped together and successfully put together some powerful rallies, events and marches that brought media from around the world, from national news to Channel 5 to Al Jazeera and even publications from Japan, we were able to bring attention to one of the most under reported and barely covered narratives that affect the entire poor and working class in the US AND abroad.
We released a book with @poorpeoplepress this summer called “Takeover! A Human Rights Approach to Housing” and it would mean a lot if yall either ordered a book or a solidarity copy. If you can’t afford a book but can pledge to either use, teach or pass the book on to someone else or eventually return it someday, you can request a solidarity copy for free (more info on that in our bio soon) You can also feel free to contribute directly to our GFM in the 🔗🔝
And last 2 slides are boosting our OG movement photographer Harvey Finkle who’s finally getting his flowers at 90 years old. Check out his exhibition next time any of yall are out in Philly!

Poor People's Army had a great trip back to Massachusetts this past weekend. We connected with local organizers to discuss our analysis on how to move forward in today's political and social climate resulting from the ongoing economic revolution. Touch The Sky hosted a meet-n-greet potluck at Northampton Skatepark, where we had the opportunity to break bread and talk with local organizers and residents of a homeless encampment a few blocks away. Springfield No One Leaves hosted a Poor People's Army mini-educational bootcamp, which was attended by Touch The Sky, along with other tenant unions and mutual aid groups.
