Poverty In Our Communities Summit

April 2 @ 3:00 pm

Attend the Poverty in Our Communities Summit to hear Princeton University sociologist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Evicted” (2016), Dr. Matthew Desmond. In his latest acclaimed work,  “Poverty, By America” (2023), Professor Desmond poses the simple question “why is there so much poverty in America?” lead audiences through a compelling, multifaceted argument for ending poverty.

As a poverty abolitionist, Desmond calls on everyone to become “poverty abolitionists” – a call audiences hope to answer through exploring the issues underlying poverty in America, and especially in our community. Listen to critical conversations and ask questions to Desmond on April 2 at 3:00 p.m. in the Moses Family Meeting and Training Center (TEC-128).  Reserve your seat here.
