End Poverty in California (EPIC) was a political campaign started in 1934 by socialist writer Upton Sinclair (best known as author of The Jungle). The movement formed the basis for Sinclair's campaign for Governor of California in 1934. The plan called for a massive public works program, sweeping tax reform, and guaranteed pensions. It gained major popular support, with thousands joining End Poverty Leagues across the state. EPIC never came to fruition due to Sinclair's defeat in the 1934 election, but is seen as an influence on New Deal programs enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Violemment combattu par la droite républicaine, il échoua dans ce qui reste connu comme la campagne du siècle. Robert A. Heinlein prit une part active dans la campagne de 1934, et devint rédacteur en chef du bulletin EPIC News, qui tirait à près de deux millions d'exemplaires, puis se présenta lui-même au titre d'EPIC, également sans succès, à l'assemblée californienne lors des élections de 1938. EPIC obtint plusieurs sièges au Congrès lors des élections de 1936, notamment celui de Jerry Voorhis. (fr)
