The Poor People’s Campaign (PPC) was created on December 4, 1967, by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), led by Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr., to address the issues of unemployment, housing shortages for the poor, and the impact of poverty on the lives of millions of Americans. The immediate aim was to secure federal legislation ensuring full employment and promoting the construction of low income-income housing to raise the quality of life of the nation’s impoverished citizens. Title 3 of the JOBS Act, the crowdfunding provision, has been called one of the most momentous securities exemptions enacted since the original Securities Act of 1933. We can deploy this federal legislation, the JOBS Act, to realize Dr. King’s vision “The Poor People’s Campaign”.
