Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign

Mission

Poor People’s Army is a nonviolent army based in the U.S. Our headquarters are in Philadelphia. We are a 3 decades old movement that came out of the welfare rights and anti poverty movements of the 60s 70s and 80s, and we were founded and are led by poor people, homeless people, people at the bottom that want the power to control our own destinies. We want to see a cooperative society where everyone gets what they need. We live in a world where it is possible for every human being to have the basic necessities of life and live a comfortable life. We know that rich people and corporations will not willingly share the wealth and resources the world has to offer. The rich undemocratically hoard the wealth, the world’s abundant resources, and the incredible productive powers that could allow for all humans to flourish. Financial information for this organization is provided by the Alliance for Global Justice.
