Rooting Out Poverty:
A Campaign by America's Community Action Network

Released on January 9, 2008, at the 2008 Winter Management & Leadership Training Conference in New Orleans, the report,
Rooting Out Poverty: A Campaign by America's Community
Action Network, is now available as a PDF.

The Community Action Partnership developed Rooting Out Poverty with input from several hundred key leaders from the local, state, and national levels. It offers solutions and strategies for promoting quality child care; employment and training opportunities, especially for those lacking basic skills; responsible health, energy, and conservation policies, assistance to those elderly and otherwise most vulnerable of people, and more.

Rooting Out Poverty was designed to educate and inform every American that the country's poverty epidemic is intolerable -- and correctable. It can also help reframe and refocus work, encourage collaborations, spark community discussions, and stimulate new ideas.
