We live in a country where poverty is frequently a death sentence

But we choose to let nearly half our population *and more than half of our children* live in, or near to, poverty - in unstable housing situations, without adequate nutrition, healthcare, or even sometimes basic sanitation.

This means poverty as a cause of death is behind heart disease, cancer, and smoking, but ahead of a lot of other causes that get much more media attention - such as homicide, gun violence, overdoses, and diabetes.

At the close of the #poorpeoplescampaign #moralpovertyactioncongress here are some stats on poverty in America (pre-COVID):

There are 140 million poor and low and income people in the U.S. That’s 43% of people who are living paycheck to paycheck, one mishap away from ruin.

52% of American children belong to poor or low-income families.

And poverty is the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S. #MPAC 1/2

American politicians talk about creating a strong middle class but they don’t talk about #poverty. Demand that the electeds who represent *you* talk about ending poverty - and walk the talk. #poorpeoplescampaign #moralpovertyactioncongress #MPAC
