The Poor's People Campaign & Kairos Center Are Coming to Pittsfield

The Poor People's Campaign and Kairos Center are movement-centered organizations focusing on the intersections between religion, poverty, and civil rights. On May 30th, that focus will be on Berkshire County as Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis (Executive Director Kairos Center and Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign) and Noam Sandweiss-Back (Director of Partnerships for Kairos Center) come to Berkshire County to speak, share, and organize around their new book, You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take.
 
The details for their visit are still coming together but will start with a gathering in Great Barrington in the early afternoon, followed by a gathering in Pittsfield from 4 to 6 at United Church of Christ, Pittsfield (110 South Street). The intent is for this to be a time for conversation, inspiration, and organizing.
 
This is a Kairos Center event, and the Massachusetts Poor People’s Campaign, in partnership with local leaders, is helping coordinate the visit to Boston and Berkshire County. If you’re interested in volunteering on the day of the event or in planning the gathering itself, reach out to Rev. Mike Denton at [email protected] .
