Take Action
- For those who want to help the homeless but don’t want to just give money to someone on the street the National Coalition for the Homeless has some recommendations–everything from donations of clothing to getting involved with your local street newspaper. How You Can Help End Homelessness.
- Join Feeding America to help the 1 in 8 Americans who face hunger each day. To find a food bank near you visit http://feedingamerica.org/foodbank-results.aspx
- Women’s average pay has dropped from 76% in 1992 to 73% of men’s wages. As a result, women are far more likely to live in poverty than men, particularly single mothers. Join the National Organization for Women in calling for pay equity by signing a petition.
- Get involved in the Democratic process. Vote; contact your Senators and Representatives; get involved in local politics. For more information about how to get involved: You Have a Voice So Use It.
