This year, the USDAC is partnering with the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival for the 2020 People’s State of the Union—an invitation to come together, to share our stories and visions for a more just future, and to confront the the evils of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, and militarism. Between March 20th - April 20th, 2020, join hundreds of people across the nation in hosting a Story Circle in your community, and help inspire the 2020 Poetic Address to the Nation.
