Let’s Change Systems
At UpTogether, we recognize that poverty is created by systems, rooted in racism and perpetuated by false views of people society considers “poor.” As a result, many people experiencing poverty and other financial hardships find it difficult to move ahead. And it’s intentional.
That’s why our bold goal is to change policies, systems, and underlying beliefs so that all people in the United States are seen and invested in for their strengths and are able to build power, reinforce their autonomy, and drive their own economic and social mobility.
But we can’t do it alone.
