Because politics have failed to solve big problems in the past, it is tempting, even during a critical election year, to become apathetic and disengage from the political process. However, if we are to have any hope to change the failed politics of our nation, we must activate ourselves as citizens and re-center the national debate and agenda who around Jesus calls the "least of these."
We invite you to join our Vote Out Poverty Campaign and 1) Put Poverty on the top of your agenda by signing the Vote Out Poverty Pledge, 2) Put Poverty on the top of your church's agenda by organizing a Poverty Sunday, and 3) Put Poverty on the top of your candidate's agenda by getting them to sign the Vote Out Poverty Candidate Pledge.
