This Town Hall Meeting features a panel discussion with people who have firsthand experience of living in poverty or of advocating for those who live in poverty. You will also learn about the Community Blueprint to End Poverty and how you can play a part in changing the current situation.

Speakers for the Town Hall Meeting include Vic Rosenthal from Jewish Community Action, Lupe Serrano from Casa de Esperanza, Mary Alvarez, a St. Catherine's Education major, Robert Butler, a Community Actions Board of Directors member, and Ed Flahvan, founder and former director of the Archdiocesan Urban Affairs Office.
