Poverty. Just Say It

Kathy Mulady, Equal Voice Newspaper: 'Some worry that the conversation about the 'p' word is more about the 'nouveau poor' than about the 37.3 million people who were living in poverty before the recession. Others say it is the crumbling middle class, changing demographics and raised consciousness of people living closer to the edge that have sparked the conversation. Talk about poverty is moving beyond the choir of social service organizations, churches and unions, and grabbing the attention of journalists - and even talk show hosts - who are using their platforms to give voice and visibility to the poor.'
