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. 

If you want to help us in this critical work, join the movement and become an UpTogether member today!

How Does the UpTogether Community Work?

Your Role

Sign up

Connect 

    • Find, join or create a group to connect with other members. 
      • Groups are based on your interests. Members have created local community groups, groups for moms, prayer groups, groups for those interested in music and concerts and many more. 
  • We are in the process of co-designing a new UpTogether Community experience with members that will allow them to easily search for and join groups, and connect with each other! We hope to launch the new experience later in 2023, as well as opportunities for members to connect in person.

    • Share your stories with UpTogether, our partners, the media and government officials to change the narrative and prove stereotypes wrong.
