The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has joined as an official partner of the Poor People’s Campaign (PPC). The guiding principles of the PPC include a commitment to the preservation of democracy, to lifting up and deepening the leadership of those most affected by systemic racism and institutionalized oppression, and to elevating up the essential needs of individuals and communities affected by systemic poverty. As part of this partnership, NASW will participate in the Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18, 2022, in Washington, D.C.
