The People’s Caravan From Cleveland RNC To Philadelphia DNC
By Staff for the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance. There are three major defining factors of this moment: white rage and misogyny escalated by the presidential elections; extractive dig-burn-dump economies promoted by politicians; and rising militarism at home & abroad applauded by the electorate.
We believe that no matter who becomes the next US president, these growing norms will have serious long-term implications for Black, Latin@, Arab and Muslim peoples, Indigenous Peoples, Asian & Pacific Islander, working class White folks, women and trans people... long after the next president is elected.
We are building a diverse and interconnected movement that has the roots we need to weather the storms our communities face and change the systems that cause us harm.
This July 2016, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance (GGJ) is organizing a People's Caravan from Cleveland to Philadelphia of 40-50 frontline community leaders from the US and Honduras.
