I keep looking for people in the #ecosystem of #youthdevelopment and #AntiPoverty efforts.

That would included youth #tutor #mentor program leaders, staff, funders, researchers, writers, student alumni, parents, etc. Would also include business partners, policy makers.

In addition it would include educators who understand the need for youth support during non-school hours and the need to expand networks & #socialcapital,

I write about this at http://tutormentor.blogspot.com

A case of anti-poverty 'lite' is chronicled in a good book I've just reviewed:

This album came out once I started adulthood. 20 yrs later & it’s the same story!! I’m really tired of history repeating. #EatTheRich #NOFX #Climate #AntiWar #AntiPoverty

@glennf @jessamyn @SwiftOnSecurity @enigcryptist One of my favorite anti-poverty measures is to make rice and beans free of charge in stores for anyone/everyone who wants them.

They're cheap to make, nutritionally dense, easy to prepare, can be stored almost forever. Could make a huge difference for many families.

#AntiPoverty

Recent arrival to Delaware and Mastodon here 👋. Is the #delaware toot community already here and I'm just not seeing us?

Also seeking local #delcourts, #delpoli, #crimlaw, #socialjustice, government accountability, and #antipoverty communities throughout the state.

Anyone working on those (or even just very interested in getting involved), please come say hi and connect!

Here's a good book on 'poverty finance' as promoted by the aid-and-development industry. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4960934705?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1

📌 Redoing my #introduction, my #reintroduction if you will!

I'm Phoebe!

I'm a 36 year old trans woman :she_her:, living on stolen sovereign Whadjuk Noongar land, that's in metro Western Australia.

I like #Linux, #FOSS, fiddling around in #GIMP, #Inkscape (#AffinityDesigner in Windows, since I paid for it), #Blender and #kdenlive. I also do a little bit of #photography.

I'm very much a Jill of all trades, master of none, but am happy to have a play with graphics for fun and profit (not really profit, but I've been known to do the odd commission).

I'm involved in #antipoverty activism (#BTPM, #AbolishMOs, #RaiseTheRate), as well as other far left shenanigans!

Technically a member of a #Socialist party, but I'm an anarchist, unassociated with any groupule.

I'm a Pisces, bisexual, and enjoy walks on the beach.

Hello, #intro time I guess.

First, worth saying I'm actually very happy to be here rather than the bird place. First time I've felt some genuine excitement and optimism about anything tech related in ages.

Anyway, I'm a lawyer, dad, greeny, lefty. Generally post about #humanrights #equality #scotland #antipoverty #scifi #puns and whatever else takes my fancy.

Please boost! :solidarity:

Take a few moments to sign this petition to demand the government raise the welfare rate to at least the poverty line (must be signed by late nov)

We have people skipping meals, putting off medical treatment, and otherwise suffering in the rich country we call Australia.

It’s a policy choice, and has a massive effect on so many vulnerable parts of our population.

(Don’t forget to verify when it sends you an email!)
