    What we can do about poverty in Canada - Ep 236

    Angie Peters is the president and CEO of Yonge Street Mission and author of the new book Just Act: We Are the Solution to Poverty. The book is an inspirational guide for people, businesses and community organizations concerned about poverty but feeling hopeless about their ability to make any meaningful difference. Peters shows us all where to begin. Her own personal story reflects her main proposition: “Poverty ended for my family in one generation because of the intervention of ordinary people who cared.” The book answers major questions about poverty, defines the problem, presents inspirational true stories, informs about effective initiatives, and addresses barriers to success. It provides insights deeply rooted in the lived experience of poverty and from system-wide collaborative work with leaders across all industries. Finally, it delivers a set of practical steps that individuals, community organizations, and businesses can develop as a measurable one-year personal or corporate action plan to leverage their unique skills and resources to impact poverty, changing lives in ways that will ripple throughout generations.
