Cathedral Commons: Becoming a Poverty Abolitionist

April 30 @ 6:45 pm - 8:15 pm

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Free, no registration required. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)

If America’s poor founded a country, that country would have a bigger population than Australia or Venezuela.

—Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

 

Why is there so much poverty in the richest country on earth? Can poverty be abolished? Participants in the recent Community Book Studies of Matthew Desmond’s, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City and Poverty, by America invite you to join this conversation at a Cathedral Commons on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Whether you have read one or both of these books is NOT a requirement to attend. We come together to consider our role in economic justice and to ask, What am I willing to change about how I live to abolish poverty?
