Things You Can Do - Get Organized

1) Invite those who are directly impacted by poverty to join your discussions of the paper and become participants in the actions you all take to address poverty.

2) Identify existing resources or advocacy groups working on your issue in your community.

3) Reach out to those living in poverty in your community by participating in parish and community activities and service.

4) Develop a working group within your church and community- to help spread the word and raise concerns about “your issue”- make sure to involve some low-income families on your work group.

5) Share what you have learned with others in your community and encourage them to take action too.
