Participants are invited to join a zoom-based gathering of community advocates who share a vision of justice, peace and dignity for all Delawareans. The gathering will open with reflections on systems that oppress and tether people in poverty. The work of Matthew Desmond will be included among the reflections. Matthew Desmond is the author of two highly acclaimed books: Poverty, By America and Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. A March 30, 2023 interview with Mr. Desmond offers a good introduction for those who are new to poverty abolition. A recording of the 17-minute interview is available here:
