The poverty forum is a Christian website that has three main goals: 1-To raise poverty as a critical domestic policy issue, increasing both public and political will in the fight against poverty. 2- To create a mechanism for constructive dialogue about poverty issues among progressive, moderate, and conservative Evangelicals and theologically orthodox Christians. 3-To identify and make policy recommendations about effective poverty alleviation measures that share broad support among the faith community. This website also has sources on things such as asset building, the community factors of reuducing poverty, and education. Overall, this website is very heavy with the political activism side of fighting poverty. As such, to learn more follow this link.
