Dear John,
We are excited to share our newest, groundbreaking report: A Matter of Survival: Meeting Unmet Needs and Building Power In Times of Crisis by Shailly Gupta Barnes and Jarvis Benson. Last Thursday, organizers, policy experts, social justice leaders from all over the nation joined us for the release of the report and to discuss the plight, fight, and insight coming from the survival strategies of impoverished communities at this time of increased inequality, democratic decline and climate and constitutional crisis.
Within the everyday actions of millions of poor people, lies the hope for a new society to be born. With the right kind of attention and political direction, these survival strategies can provide the foundation of a broad-based social justice movement. Below are some highlights from the report launch.
