    Hey folks,
    The following addresses the issue of mobilizing around poverty, and provides some good information we might want to have in a flyer, if anyone is interested. http://www.thenation.com/blog/168170/do-we-need-poor-peoples-coming-out-movement

    • Thanks so much Emerald for giving it a further reading/viewing. Perhaps this week I might dabble with a flyer and then pass it on to those who do these things well. Thanks for taking the time to read this and watch it more fully and add analysis. Hope you’re doing well.
