Coalition Against Poverty

Coalition Against Poverty We work to strengthen the welfare safety net and to increase opportunities for affordable housing, child care, health care, education and living wage jobs.

The Coalition Against Poverty seeks to empower large numbers of current and former welfare mothers and low-income working people by developing leadership through vigorous public education and action campaigns for economic survival. We have a dual focus: recruitment and development of low-income leaders, and effective campaigns that address the economic survival issues that our constituency faces­.

We build grassroots power through empowering low-income voters, increasing voter participation, and holding elected officials accountable.
