"National Truth Commission" on Poverty In US

[gorbal]

While US foreign policy finds us engaged in conflicts in different parts of the world, there is an unreported but deadly war going on within our own borders. This war on America's poor and working families has left many of us without our economic human rights to food, housing, healthcare, education, communication and living wage jobs. There are now over 31 million Americans living in poverty. 12.2 million children in our nation are poor, with over 1.35 million of them homeless. Over 43 million Americans have no healthcare and there are currently almost 10 million unemployed Americans.

I am really impressed with this organization and how much it has grown over the years. Is there anyone out there in DU land who will be attending?
