Ways that we need your help
1. First and foremost we need a big in-person turnout. The event will be broadcast across the country and we expect substantial media attention as well. We need the event packed. The groups from the End Poverty Now Coalition have been responsible for the heaviest turnout at most of the Ohio Poor People's Campaign events, and we really need your participation now.
Although you can come if you have not RSVPed, we are requesting people to RSVP. Any groups that have more than 10 people who have RSVPed will have reserved seating. The link is below:
2. Need people to volunteer (or in a couple of cases get paid) on the day of the event. Specifically help is needed in the following areas where we currently do not have people or enough people
Peacekeeping - Marshals are needed to arrive by 4pm.
Childcare (2) - These are roles that PPC is willing to compensate for up to $15 an hour.
Spanish Translators (2) - These are roles that PPC is willing to compensate for up to $15 an hour. PPC will also rent the headsets needed for the audience.
Parking Attendants - Help direct traffic and escort those that need help or assistance before and after the event.
Registration/COVID Vaccination Card Check- Registering people coming in and checking vaccination cards
Usher/Wristband Check s will be double checking wristbands as ushers.
Setup & Artbuild - we could use some handy folks who can help build the bracing and crossbars for our screen printed flags and banners. PPC will provide the materials (wood & screws).
Teardown - This will involve taking down the art and putting the place back together .
Below is the volunteer form if you or others are willing to volunteer:
3. The campaign is looking for people who can give two minute testimonies and share personal experiences of one of the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the war economy and the false moral narrative of religious nationalism from one of the highlighted campaign injustices. You can click onto the Moral Agenda for a detailed PPC agenda as it relates to those injustices.
If you personally want to testify or have someone else who will, please respond to this email to me at lib2@case,edu, and give me the name, contact and what the person will testify about.
