An opinion column suggesting before unite to provoke change.

One of the most common questions I used to be asked was "where do you find poor people?"

Most people are unaware that $21,720 is the poverty line for a family of three.

One of the hardest parts of my job is working against stereotypes.The words "poor" and "poverty" often evoke images of lazy people who don't do enough to change their situation. It's hard for folks who have never struggled with money to imagine a life without it. I have found that it's damn near impossible for folks to get it.
