Poverty ended for Angie Peter's family in one generation because of the intervention of ordinary people who cared. Just Act is an inspirational guide for people, businesses and community organizations who are concerned about poverty but feel hopeless about their ability to make any meaningful difference. Built upon the insights of people with lived experience of poverty Just Act answers your questions, provides inspirational true stories, informs about effective initiatives, and addresses barriers to success. It then provides a step-by-step process to develop a comprehensive one-year action plan that can transform lives for generations to come.
