Until It’s Gone
Ending Poverty in Our Nation, in Our Lifetime
The poverty rate in the United States has not dropped significantly since 1965. And if we continue to expect government and social services to take care of poverty without the help of individuals, nothing is likely to change. Thats why the Circles Campaign has captured the imaginations of people of conscience across the United States, including educators, social workers, community organizers, faith leaders, business leaders, and politicians.
The Circles Campaign is an action plan that brings together the best efforts and resources of individuals, organizations, communities, and government in a program proven to raise people out of poverty.
This book shows you how to:
Define, recognize, and approach the problem of poverty in America
Get started in building Circles out of poverty in your community
Expand social networks and connect with others outside your comfort zone
Be a bolder ally to those in need
Become a transformational leader wherever you are
Eliminate the barriers confronted by those in poverty
