Join us on Saturday, October 3rd, from 2-4pm for a conversation with leaders from the recently re-constituted National Union of the Homeless (NUH).

We'll hear from leaders of the NUH about their experiences in the late 70s and 80s, organizing and leadership lessons learned, and how they're bringing those experiences forward to today, as part of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

We'll also join in conversation as leaders of Capital Region justice struggles today, reflecting on our present economic and organizing conditions, and the need for, and challenges to building, a mass, fusion movement of the poor and dispossessed.

This event will be held online over Zoom. RSVP today and you'll receive the call info in advance of the forum.

Co-sponsored by the Labor-Religion Coalition of NYS, the National Union of the Homeless, and the Capital Region Committee of the NYS Poor People’s Campaign.

At its height, the National Union of the Homeless had over 20 local chapters and 15, 000 members in cities across the US. Most importantly, it implemented a model of organizing involving the poor and homeless thinking for themselves, speaking for themselves, fighting for themselves and producing from their ranks capable and creative leaders. - from The National Union of the Homeless: A Brief History
