Hello Everyone,
Everything that I’ve written so far has been to convince you (and me) that if there’s a way to abolish poverty in Littleton for the 6.3% who experience it, we owe it to each other, as townspeople, to try because we’re all running out of time to be good to each other.
Littleton means a lot to me, and I’d like to see my hometown do something really amazing: end poverty in town.
If you’ve been reading along, you know that POVERTY, BY AMERICA by Matthew Desmond changed my life. I convinced our library to buy a bunch of copies in the hopes that you all would read it and that his message might change your life, too. Because now that I know poverty is here in Littleton, I can “un-know” that.
Let’s not turn away from this. People here in town are hurting. I’ve met them. Their suffering is needless. I want to work to change that. To end it.
