Description

The Poor People’s Campaign is an interfaith movement to end poverty in the United States. It builds on an earlier movement launched by Martin Luther King Jr. and other activists in 1968, an organizing effort that connected civil rights to economic justice. In this episode of TSE's series Sacred Steps, we meet Shailly Gupta Barnes, one of its leading tacticians. She's an Indian American who grounds her commitment to economic justice in her family’s Hindu traditions.
