We are a nonviolent ARMY of poor & working people, led by poor people, fighting for our survival by any means necessary. For 3 decades, Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC)/Poor People’s Army has been reclaiming the basic necessities of life– with free food distribution & housing takeovers of abandoned properties.
We believe this country has enough things for everyone to live well, it’s just not shared fairly by rich people in power. Therefore we fight to take power and control from the rich so that we can get every person what they need.
We try to help anyone who comes to us. We center music, arts, and culture, and practice the politics of love. Our headquarters are in Philadelphia, and we have troops in many areas of the USA, and work with international partners. We are part of a global movement fighting for the survival of humanity. JOIN US. There’s #ARoleForEveryone
We rely in our network of self-organized poor, as well as volunteers, interns, and allies. We would love your involvement, your skills, your assistance, and your advocacy. Fill out this form if you’re interested in working with us. We can use in-person as well as remote help.
