You're Invited -- Conversations on Poverty
On Saturday, July 18, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Virginians will have a unique opportunity to pitch their solutions for reducing poverty in their localities and statewide. In one of the largest-ever, simultaneous conversations devoted to the issue of poverty reduction, attendees are encouraged to recommend specific strategies for the Commonwealth’s Poverty Reduction Taskforce and local and state officials to consider.
