Why get involved?

Because no working family should live in poverty. Today nearly a third of America's families earn less than 200% of the poverty rate - about $40,000 for a family of four.

People coming together across issues and regions can effect change in local, state and national policies that will bring about a more just and equitable society.

What is needed for America's Families to prosper?
