Fighting Poverty with Faith: A Week of Action
September 10-16, 2008

Catholic Charities USA is partnering with 19 national faith-based groups to elevate the issue of poverty in the 2008 elections.

Poverty is solvable. During the week of action, we are asking local, state, and national candidates about their commitment to the issues of poverty and what they will do to address poverty during their first 100 days in office.
