Today, we celebrated the life and work of our dearly departed friend, David Mott. Maryland Poor People's Campaign, BACC, and Third Act Maryland spoke about his work with those orgs, and we had wonderful music as well. Thank you to all coordinators, attendees, and participants for making it a wonderful event.
Quote from António Guterres (@antonioguterres):
800 million people still live in extreme poverty. Their plight is made worse by conflicts, the climate crisis, deepening inequalities & heavy debt burdens.
We need to shape economies that put people first, and continue our fight to reduce & #EndPoverty.

Think of the improvements to communities if the wealthiest paid appropriate taxes👇
Canada is home to around 62 billionaires and 1,827,000 Canadians have a net worth greater than $1 million

The European Commission’s first EU antipoverty strategy sets out a bold plan to help end poverty by 2050. It comes together with new measures to tackle housing exclusion and better support children at risk of poverty and social exclusion.
How does the EU support families? 🤝
Through our new Anti-Poverty Strategy we aim to eradicate child poverty by reinforcing the #EUChildGuarantee to meet urgent needs, ensure every child grows up in safety, and break the cycle of poverty.
